Hillary Clinton ( blames Comey, Wikileaks for 2016 election loss) 

Confused by all those Wikileaks hacking terms? Here's a glossary

The hacking documents posted by WikiLeaks offer a glimpse into a world unfamiliar to most Americans.

The files claim to detail how the CIA’s high-tech spies can use carefully crafted pieces of software and equipment to break into phones, computers, web servers and even smart TVs.

That world comes with its own jargon, much of which reflects the specialized vocabulary used to describe the techniques and systems used.

WikiLeaks posted on its website thousands of documents Tuesday it described as hacking files and related material from the Central Intelligence Agency’s Center for Cyber Intelligence in what Wikileaks called the "largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency."

Wikileaks said the document dump represents a new series of leaks it had code-named "Vault 7." The website says the CIA "lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal," more than several hundred million lines of code, providing "the entire hacking capacity of the CIA."
