- 'Extending' was developed by MI5 in the UK and 'Weeping Angel' by the CIA
- Both are software that use a USB drive to turn certain Samsung TVs into recording devices
- Latest revelations come as US Attorney General vows to go after WikiLeaks
The latest releases by
WikiLeaks appear to include descriptions of CIA-developed malware that
could turn Samsung TVs into recording devices.
Details
about the British-made 'Extending' and the CIA's 'Weeping Angel,' both
recently stolen from the CIA, were released by WikiLeaks on Friday.
The
documents outline programs that can make certain Samsung TVs into
recording devices via a USB drive placed in the televisions, The Hill reported.
The audio channels from the TVs would be rerouted from its microphone to the CIA.
Depending
on the veracity of the documents, the initiative might have been
developed jointly by Britain's MI5, which first developed the software,
and the CIA.
