Second hour Investigative reports: Julian Assange:  Assange won’t face charges ..story;  espionage act;  As I suggested, @Wikileaks’ #Vault7 was the most explosive exposure of #CIA criminal activity ever – It’s a move that has surprised national security experts and some former officials, given prosecutors’ recent decision to aggressively go after the WikiLeaks founder on more controversial Espionage Act charges that some legal experts said would not hold up in court. The decision also means that Assange will not face punishment for publishing one of the CIA’s most potent arsenals of digital code used to hack devices, dubbed Vault 7. The leak — one of the most devastating in CIA history — not only essentially rendered those tools useless for the CIA, it gave foreign spies and rogue hackers access to them. – mass surveillance, hacking, crimes of the secret services.

Dan Damon on BBC World Update discusses Pegasus 3 spyware, developed by Israelis, that can spy on Smart Phones and the Saudis used to spy on Khashoggi. A vulnerability in WhatsApp has allowed attackers to inject commercial Israeli spyware on phones, the Financial Times reported, citing the messaging app company and a spyware technology dealer. WhatsApp discovered in early May that attackers were able to install surveillance software on to iPhones and Android phones by calling up targets using the app’s call function, the FT said in an article on May 13. The malicious code is developed by the secretive Israeli company NSO Group and can be transmitted to users even if they did not answer their phones, with the calls often disappearing from the call log, according to the spyware dealer who was briefed on the WhatsApp hack.
