"Historic incompetence of catastrophic proportions" is how Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange sees CIA's cyber weapons program. According to his London press conference, the published hackers' archive is only a small part of what the web portal holds. Russia is forced to consider this data, said head of Russia's MFA Sergey Lavrov. He also shared how he protects himself from Americans listening in. Reported to you by Mikhail Antonov.

4-meter fence, barbed wire and watch towers. The biggest American Consulate in the world resembles a military base. In reality, it is the main foreign facility for secret operations of American special forces, such as CIA, NSA and, according to NBC, Obama's secret cyber spy agency, which was intended to attack Russia.

Ever since WWII, Americans have anchored in Frankfurt. When they ran out of prison space, they sent their prisoners here to serve their time in military overseas. This is where the contraband bloomed with American cigarettes and other rare goods, including drugs, due to poor shipments control.

Today, out of more than 1000 Consulate employees, one fifth are special services employees with diplomatic passports, according to Frankfurter Allgemeine. Among Wikileaks' documents, there is a beginner's manual: "Do not leave anything electronic or sensitive unattended in your hotel room. Paranoid, yes, but better safe than sorry".

If you have the technology, so might your opponent. Besides regular hackers' tool, like various viruses, the Consulate's hackers had something new, the Weeping Angel. This program can turn any device with internet access into spy software. Computers and smartphones are no surprise, but even a turned off TV can become an intercepting device. Samsung and Sony products are at higher risk of being hacked. CIA folks can also look at your message history in WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal at any time. If you have an iPhone or anything from HTC or Google in your pocket, you're carrying a sleeping NSA agent.

Out of all the sensitive international issues, Lavrov and his German colleague, Gabriel, were first asked about the leak to Wikileaks. "Where do I begin... When it comes to suspicions that CIA hackers can... get into smartphones and... also into modern TV's, and refrigerators, I heard. They can at least create electricity problems. Personally, I try not to take my phone to any serious negotiations. Till now I've been staying out of trouble".



Meanwhile, Wikileaks is informing IT companies how to stay out of trouble. Over 8500 published documents is not all the site has. Wikileaks has a lot more information about the cyber weapons program. So we decided to work with manufacturers and give them exclusive access to all the technical details we have This way they can come up with necessary protection solutions.

For instance, a technology countermeasure is awaited, that will not only allow to spy and sabotage, but also blame someone else for it. In the past agents would engage in fake radio messaging, using the opponent's unique signature. Now, American secret services act the way foreign hackers do — they fabricate their opponents' so-called cyber fingerprints. This way anyone and anything can be compromised. For example, France an Germany have upcoming elections. "I suppose modern technologies always lead to someone using them to their advantage. When it come to CIA hackers, we have no such information. but there are rumors of other countries that are supposedly trying to influence us. We're trying to see all this as just rumors".

This is the worst time for a scandal, as Merkel is planning to visit Washington. Even though these rumors are being spread by such important newspapers as FAZ... and even Americans call it a leak and FBI is looking for its source... German authorities will try to avoid a conflict with Washington. Just like they tried to cover up the Edward Snowden story. And they did, they covered it up and wiped away the cyber spit of their ally. Or maybe those were the tears of the Weeping Angel?

The official German MFA representative, Fisher, has stated that they will confirm the authenticity of the Wikileaks facts. But it's clear their power here is limited. Americans will not allow anybody in. Maybe they'll allow a secret operation, like the one in 2013, right after Snowden. Back then, they had a helicopter over the American Consulate, it took pictures of all the antennae.
