    Assange is the responsible of all that in the first place by releasing NSA tools. Same as a criminal giving guns to gangsters and tell to people "be careful , a lot of guns as been released, protect yourself..."
    This guy should be jailed.

    He has GOT to be the most openly secluded fugitive anyone is ever seen. How anyone can stay holed up as long as that is unprecedented.

    Assange did not release ETERNAL BLUE

    The Shadow Brokers ‘dumped’ ETERNAL BLUE on an obscure website on April 14.

    ETERNAL BLUE was not included in Vault 7.

    So maybe not on this case, but the the principle remain the same, he shouldn't release any tools at all.

    It wasn't Assange that hacked in the NSA servers. Don't shoot the messenger, it is thanks to people like Snowden and Assange that we have been timely made aware of the security problems, the major privacy abuse that serves you social media "for free", including the complete hell the IoT of today is gonna result in.

    Ummmm. Uh Oh. o_O

    "WikiLeaks posts user guides for CIA malware implants Assassin and AfterMidnight...

    The latest WikiLeaks release of CIA malware documentation was overshadowed by the WannaCry ransomware attack sweeping across the world on Friday.

    WikiLeaks maintains that “Assassin” and “AfterMidnight” are two CIA “remote control and subversion malware systems” which target Windows. Both were created to spy on targets, send collected data back to the CIA and perform tasks specified by the CIA. Both are persistent and can be scheduled to autonomously uninstall on a specific date and time..."
