Wikileaks has carefully reviewed the "Year Zero" disclosure and published substantive CIA documentation while avoiding the distribution of 'armed' cyberweapons until a consensus emerges on the technical and political nature of the CIA's program and how such 'weapons' should analyzed, disarmed and published.
Wikileaks has also decided to redact and anonymise some identifying information in "Year Zero" for in depth analysis. These redactions include ten of thousands of CIA targets and attack machines throughout Latin America, Europe and the United States. While we are aware of the imperfect results of any approach chosen, we remain committed to our publishing model and note that the quantity of published pages in "Vault 7" part one (“Year Zero”) already eclipses the total number of pages published over the first three years of the Edward Snowden NSA leaks.
訳注 ・原文の in depth analysis は通常 in-depth analysis と表現される。おそらく 単なるミス。 ・同じく ten of thousands of も tens of thousands of の間違いであろう。 ・attack machines の正確な意味はよくわからない。取りあえず「攻撃メンバー」と しておいたが、間違っているかもしれない。後で訂
Vault 7: CIA Hacking Tools Revealed https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/ の中の Analysis と題するセクション中の一節
The attack against Samsung smart TVs was developed in cooperation with the United Kingdom's MI5/BTSS. After infestation, Weeping Angel places the target TV in a 'Fake-Off' mode, so that the owner falsely believes the TV is off when it is on. In 'Fake-Off' mode the TV operates as a bug, recording conversations in the room and sending them over the Internet to a covert CIA server.
As of October 2014 the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks. The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations.
訳注 ・MI5は英国の諜報機関の一つ。「軍事情報活動第5部」（英辞郎）、「秘密情報部」 （ウィキペディア）、「英国諜報部第5部」（Weblio辞書）等、表記が定まっていない。 ・BTSS は British Security Service の略語であるらしいが、MI5との関係は 今一つよくわからない。
The CIA's Mobile Devices Branch (MDB) developed numerous attacks to remotely hack and control popular smart phones. Infected phones can be instructed to send the CIA the user's geolocation, audio and text communications as well as covertly activate the phone's camera and microphone.
Despite iPhone's minority share (14.5%) of the global smart phone market in 2016, a specialized unit in the CIA's Mobile Development Branch produces malware to infest, control and exfiltrate data from iPhones and other Apple products running iOS, such as iPads. CIA's arsenal includes numerous local and remote "zero days" developed by CIA or obtained from GCHQ, NSA, FBI or purchased from cyber arms contractors such as Baitshop. The disproportionate focus on iOS may be explained by the popularity of the iPhone among social, political, diplomatic and business elites.
・「モバイル開発部」は仮訳。 ・原文中の "zero days" とは、複数形になっていることから考えて、上に出た zero day exploits のことであろう。そして、この場合の zero day exploits は、 おそらく「ゼロデイの段階で、その欠陥・脆弱性を悪用した攻撃をするマルウェア」 の意と思われます。>>31の訳注を参照。 ・GCHQ（英政府通信部）は英国の諜報機関。
A similar unit targets Google's Android which is used to run the majority of the world's smart phones (〜85%) including Samsung, HTC and Sony. 1.15 billion Android powered phones were sold last year. "Year Zero" shows that as of 2016 the CIA had 24 "weaponized" Android "zero days" which it has developed itself and obtained from GCHQ, NSA and cyber arms contractors.
These techniques permit the CIA to bypass the encryption of WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Wiebo, Confide and Cloackman by hacking the "smart" phones that they run on and collecting audio and message traffic before encryption is applied.
>>62 cloakman（真ん中のcなしで）という表記もあるようですね。cloak（cloakはマント、マントで 姿が見えない＝暗号化？）という単語はあるのでこっちが正しいのかもしれません。検索しても よくわからなかったけど、これもメッセージアプリのようです。こんな記述がありました。 Assange claimed that the CIA can bypass encryption in popular messaging programs such as Cloakman, Confide, Weibo, Telegram, Signal and WhatsApp. Weiboまでメッセージアプリに含めてるのでなんとも言えないけど。
they run on のtheyは訳ではThese techniquesを指しているよう見えるけど、WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Wiebo, Confide and Cloackman などのアプリのことを指してるんじゃないですかね。
they run on の they はおいらも WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Wiebo, Confide and Cloackman と解釈。 「これらの（暗号化機能が搭載されている）アプリを使用しているスマートフォン」 ということでしょうが、これでは長ったらしいので簡略化した。 「これらの暗号化機能を搭載したスマートフォン」で訳としては十分だと思う。
The CIA also runs a very substantial effort to infect and control Microsoft Windows users with its malware. This includes multiple local and remote weaponized "zero days", air gap jumping viruses such as "Hammer Drill" which infects software distributed on CD/DVDs, infectors for removable media such as USBs, systems to hide data in images or in covert disk areas ( "Brutal Kangaroo") and to keep its malware infestations going.
The CIA has developed automated multi-platform malware attack and control systems covering Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, Linux and more, such as EDB's "HIVE" and the related "Cutthroat" and "Swindle" tools, which are described in the examples section below.
In the wake of Edward Snowden's leaks about the NSA, the U.S. technology industry secured a commitment from the Obama administration that the executive would disclose on an ongoing basis - rather than hoard - serious vulnerabilities, exploits, bugs or "zero days" to Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other US-based manufacturers. []
Serious vulnerabilities not disclosed to the manufacturers places huge swathes of the population and critical infrastructure at risk to foreign intelligence or cyber criminals who independently discover or hear rumors of the vulnerability. If the CIA can discover such vulnerabilities so can others.
The U.S. government's commitment to the Vulnerabilities Equities Process came after significant lobbying by US technology companies, who risk losing their share of the global market over real and perceived hidden vulnerabilities. The government stated that it would disclose all pervasive vulnerabilities discovered after 2010 on an ongoing basis.
"Year Zero" documents show that the CIA breached the Obama administration's commitments. Many of the vulnerabilities used in the CIA's cyber arsenal are pervasive and some may already have been found by rival intelligence agencies or cyber criminals.
As an example, specific CIA malware revealed in "Year Zero" is able to penetrate, infest and control both the Android phone and iPhone software that runs or has run presidential Twitter accounts. The CIA attacks this software by using undisclosed security vulnerabilities ("zero days") possessed by the CIA but if the CIA can hack these phones then so can everyone else who has obtained or discovered the vulnerability. As long as the CIA keeps these vulnerabilities concealed from Apple and Google (who make the phones) they will not be fixed, and the phones will remain hackable.
The same vulnerabilities exist for the population at large, including the U.S. Cabinet, Congress, top CEOs, system administrators, security officers and engineers. By hiding these security flaws from manufacturers like Apple and Google the CIA ensures that it can hack everyone &mdsh; at the expense of leaving everyone hackable.
