Wikileaks unveiled their largest vault of confidential CIA documents which they dubbed ‘Vault 7’. One of the documents revealed a bombshell – the U.S. government is secretly paying to keep U.S. software such as iOS and Android unsafe.
The U.S. government is paying to keep U.S. software unsafe. They are intentionally developing vulnerabilities instead of securing systems. This is criminal and reckless. This means iOS and Android can be hacked, spied on and/or infected with malware. Because of the software vulnerabilities, various messaging apps with encryption can also be accessed.
#Vault 7 shows that Apple has been proven right. Governments can’t be trusted to keep “for the government only” security holes safe,

The CIA reports show the USG developing vulnerabilities in US products, then intentionally keeping the holes open. Reckless beyond words.
