If you have closed the TV set and started a confidential discussion in your drawing room, be careful, because the TV set can spy you with the courtesy of the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). 

Global whistleblower agency WikiLeaks claims in a new set of leaked documents that the CIA has developed new malware and hacking tools that can hack your TV too.

The CIA's Mobile Devices Branch (MDB) has developed technologies to remotely hack and popularize popular smartphones like iPhones and Android-based devices.

These techniques were developed by a software development group EDG (Engineering Development Group) inside a department CCI (Center for Cyber ​​Intelligence) related to CIA's DDI (Directorate of Digital Innovation).

'Vying Angel' is a malware developed by the CIA's Embedded Devices Branch (EDB), which gets control over Smart TV and turns it into secret microphones.

WikiLeaks has claimed that this malware has been developed to control Samsung Smart TV in collaboration with Britain's spy agency MI5 / BTSS.

When 'Vying Angel' enters the Smart TV, TV watchers feel that they have closed the TV. But even then the TV remains open and monitored. He keeps sending the CIA to the ongoing activities in the room.

On the other hand, CIA's malware keeps sending its location, audio, message, photos, video, call after sending the smartphone into the CIA's secret server.

The CIA runs a very significant effort to infect and control Microsoft Windows users with their own malware.

These new documents are part of the 'Walt 7' released by WikiLeaks, which is a large collection of material about CII activities, which is the biggest disclosure of the functioning of intelligence units.
