WikiLeaks had been published a trove of documents that contains the entire hacking capacity of the CIA last Tuesday. A collection of hacking tools that has more than a hundred million of lines of code that encompassing nearly 8,000 classified files, which CIA has an impressive arsenal software exploits.

According to BGR, CIA had been developing an automated multi-platform malware attack that controls the systems covering the Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, Linux, and more. The chairman of cyber defense firm Pierre Roberge said that while the absence of source code limits foreign government to immediately exploiting the leaks, the dump will still be the cause of the problems.

In a particular interest of a revelation, the CIA's Mobile Development Branch produces malware to infest data from iPhone and any other products that run on iOS. However, in the wake of these revelations, Apple made a statement that their products are still vulnerable to any laundry list of CIA exploits.

WikiLeaks said that the source behind the leak wants to have a public debate about the security, creation, use, proliferation, and a democratic control of cyber weapons. The source is being described as a former U.S. Government hacker or contractor, Fox News reported.

WikiLeaks added that once a single cyber weapon has loosened it spread all over the world in a second, to be used by the rival state, cyber mafia, or even the teenage hackers. The leak also pushes companies' security into the spotlight as the clients know that they are using vulnerable products and decide what action is best to reduce it.

It is a natural draw in between the recent CIA document leaked and a couple of classified NSA files that leaked by Edward Snowden. While some security experts believe that the CIA's hacking arsenal exploits are a far more serious problem than the exploits with current methods and tools revealed by Snowden.
