WikiLeaks will work with technology companies to help defend them against the CIA’s hacking tools, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said. … Justin Cappos, a computer security professor in New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering, said any group that had this information first — whether it was WikiLeaks or a government agency — should have worked to disclose it to tech companies before making it public. “Now we’re in a position where a bunch of companies are scrambling to put in fixes because now their users are at risk,” he said.
