Protect yourself...
You can help to avoid hacking by updating your devices.
The trove of information on alleged hacking tools released by WikiLeaks, which reveals the CIA has the capability to hack consumer devices, will raise questions for users and technology companies alike, Alex Hern reports on theguardian.com.
Everyday consumer devices, including smartphones running iOS and Android operating systems, Windows and Mac computers, and even smart TVs made by manufacturers such as Samsung, have all been targeted by the CIA, Hern wrote.
But many of the hacking tools detailed by the leak, which appears to date to mid-2016, have since been patched by the vendors, meaning that a user with a fully up-to-date device would be safe from those avenues of attack, he added.
