Vault 7 is a series of documents that WikiLeaks began to publish on 7 March 2017, that allegedly detail activities and capabilities of the United States Central Intelligence Agency to perform electronic surveillance and cyber warfare. The files, dated from 2013–2016 and again allegedly include details on the agency's software capabilities, such as the ability to compromise cars, smart TVs, web browsers and the operating systems of most smartphones (including Apple's iOS and Google's Android), as well as other operating systems.
