Alleged WikiLeaks documents released Tuesday revealed that mobile phones, smart televisions, computers and anti-virus software could be hacked by the CIA via infiltration tool "Weeping Angel."


Weeping Angel can reportedly do a number of things, like record encrypted audio files, images, text messages and video snapshots through users' devices.

Even more disturbing - the documents, dubbed "Vault 7," suggested that the government agency attempted to turn Samsung smart televisions into listening devices that spied on unsuspecting Americans. This means the TV pretended to turn itself off while recording conversations without the use of its screen, according to the documents.

If true, the documents showed that the CIA and UK security agency MI5 met in 2014 to improve Weeping Angel through a hack that specifically targeted 2013 Samsung F8000 televisions via a "Fake-Off" mode.

In 2015, Samsung was criticized for invading user privacy with its voice recognition feature.

"Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognition," the multinational company said in its privacy policy.

The CIA also allegedly experimented with manipulating smart vehicles, which could be used to carry out "nearly undetectable assassinations," according to the leak.

The intelligence service hasn't responded to the massive WikiLeaks dump, which reportedly consisted of 8,761 documents from the agency's Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virginia.
