Most of the vulnerabilities pertaining to Google that are discussed in recently leaked CIA documents aren’t relevant anymore. Soon after Apple confirmed the iOS vulnerabilities in the WikiLeaks file dump had largely been patched, Google revealed the same.
As we’ve reviewed the documents, we’re confident that security updates and protections in both Chrome and Android already shield users from many of these alleged vulnerabilities. Our analysis is ongoing and we will implement any further necessary protections. We’ve always made security a top priority and we continue to invest in our defenses, – Heather Adkins, Google
The CIA has worked to locate security holes in Android, iOS, and other platforms. It even had an entire team dedicated to breaking into iOS.
While most of the vulnerabilities appear to be fixed, it’s not clear all of them have been patched.
