Behind the “Vault 7” cyberweapon leak: CIA incompetence
An internal CIA report prepared by then-director Mike Pompeo and his deputy, Gina Haspel, that was obtained by the Washington Post, concludes that the 2016 theft of top secret computer hacking tools known as Vault 7 was the result of a culture in which the Agency’s elite hackers “prioritized building cyber weapons at the expense of securing their own weapons.

Officials call it the biggest unauthorized disclosure of classified information in the CIA’s history.
