Yeah, maybe next time don't "cancel" wikileaks just because they leaked something from your political side(referencing the DNC & Democratic leaks here).

The vault7 was mind-blowing and somehow reinforced what was de facto knew but until then no solid proof was there[merely that quite everything is compromised directly, and when that's not the case, your output is mined],available to the large public.Again, if the Media was more keen on that issue (Privacy, 3-letter agencies being abusive,etc) then people would remember the issues that exist in most computing systems today.

For people who at least skimmed through those vulnerabilities,tools, and leaked documents, it's not surprising at all that these kind of exploits are still out there.It's actually disappointing and frankly pathetic that people don't pay attention to some things because they disagree with the source of information(By the way WL revealed things from the entire spectrum: right/left, Russia/western countries/Asia/etc).These 'NSO leaks' are not eye-opening exploits/techniques, but don't let me spark the bubble of "modern infosec journalism".
