Now, according to BBC, Wikileaks has released another incredible piece of [the CIA] arsenal. Wikileaks reportedly released the code that the CIA uses to disguise the origins of a computer virus as a part of Vault 7.

These hacking tools reportedly include decoy languages like Russian to disguise the national origins of the cyber attack or malware. The release may disrupt the CIA's current operations and reveal previous cyber operations.

    > never hear about anything that might upset you.

    Stop hiding behind that canard.

    If you actually had something thoughtful to say, then you could indeed crow about upsetting people with important ideas.
    But you literally just said you don't care about ideas, only about getting people worked up over nothing.

    That's a confession that you literally have nothing to say so you make up for it by yelling as loudly as you can.

    You don't think pointing out the extent to which people will stick their heads in the sand rather than deal with something uncomfortable is a good thing? You're probably right. Do you need a q-tip to help get the sand out of your ears?

      Don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining.
      You haven't revealed anything uncomfortable.
      All you did was link to an edgelord's self-serving re-interpretation of an actual news article.

        And highlighted several members of the community who would rather ignore the truth if it comes from a source they disagree with. Which is well worth doing if for no other reason than to remove any credibility they had around here.
