WikiLeaks CIA Vault 7 Pandemic

June 1, 2017. WikiLeaks publishes documents from the “Pandemic” project of the CIA, a persistent implant for Microsoft Windows machines that share files (programs) with remote users in a local network. “Pandemic” targets remote users by replacing application code on-the-fly with a Trojan version if the program is retrieved from the infected machine. To obfuscate its activity, the original file on the file server remains unchanged; it is only modified and replaced while in transit from the pandemic file server before being executed on the computer of the remote user. The implant allows the replacement of up to 20 programs with a maximum size of 800 MB for a selected list of remote users (targets).

As the name suggests, a single computer on a local network with shared drives that is infected with the “Pandemic” implant will act like a “Patient Zero” in the spread of a disease. It will infect remote computers if the user executes programs stored on the pandemic file server. Although not explicitly stated in the documents, it seems technically feasible that remote computers that provide file shares themselves become new pandemic file servers on the local network to reach new targets.

Editor’s Note:

We humbly seek your support and ask for your generosity in helping us to continue to report to you on news and information you’ll not be getting with the lamestream propaganda media. All our authors have a passion for getting their information out to the general public.

SHARE: To get the word out please copy the article URL to post and comment on your social media platforms. Citizen journalists like myself are under assault by the federal government for they passed anti-Free Speech and Censorship law in the NDAA bill that was signed into law in the dead of night on Christmas Eve, 2016 by Islam Emperor Obama. Free Speech is under attack and NDAA has legalized censorship by Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo and most internet platforms because all are globalists and leftists. The establishment republicans are just as dangerous as the democrats, for both are Tyrants! Near all internet hosts suppress and censors articles and videos that do not toe the leftist, globalist and totalitarian line.

COMMENTS: I disabled comments on my articles because the spam was obscene. Each article I wrote was getting around 500 spam comments daily. We have anti-spam software but these spammers spend tons of money to bypass. I guess the Google algorithm does not suppress or censor spam attacks, only prevents them from being seen on key word searches. This site and my articles are SEO optimized but to no avail when trying to out-maneuver the spammers and censor algorithms.
