Vault 7 is a series of documents released by Wikileaks on March 7, 2017, that detail activities of the American Central Intelligence Agency to perform electronic surveillance. The first batch of documents to be released consisted of 7,818 web pages with 943 attachments, purportedly from the Center for Cyber Intelligence, which already contains more pages than Edward Snowden's NSA release. According to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, Vault 7 is the most comprehensive release of US spying files ever made public. The files include details on software capabilities of the agency, such as the ability to bypass encryption on instant messaging services such as Signal and Whatsapp.
