WikiLeaks released on Tuesday thousands of documents purportedly taken from the CIA's Cyber Intelligence Center , a dramatic document that appears to provide a revealing look at the intimate details of the US cyberspace toolkit.
The dump of more than 8,000 documents, codenamed "Vault7" , could not be immediately authenticated by The Associated Press and the CIA declined to comment, but WikiLeaks has a long history of releasing top secret government documents. Experts who have begun sifting through the material said it looked legitimate - and that launching was almost certain to shake the CIA.
In a statement to CBS News, CIA spokesman Jonathan Liu said: "We do not comment on the authenticity or content of alleged intelligence documents."
