Title: Wikileaks and CIA hacking tools
Post by: REDACTED on March 20, 2017, 08:27:43 AM

According to Wiikileaks Avast is one of the products with weaknesses that CIA use for intrusion.

I would like to know what Acast is going to do about it and when.

The CIA, FBI, MI5, MI6, GCHQ and ASIS can break into virtually anything they want to. Whether you like it or not. Al anyone can do is set-up layers of protection/security.

Privacy does not exist on the internet.
