Julian Assange, the controversial founder of WikiLeaks, recently made shocking claims about the CIA’s activities targeting him and his associates. In his first public hearing since being freed from prison, Assange revealed alarming allegations, including attempts on his life while seeking asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. These actions were allegedly in retaliation for WikiLeaks publishing the CIA’s hacking tools and malware, known as “Vault 7.”
Assange accused former CIA Director Mike Pompeo of personally directing a campaign against him, extending to kidnapping and assassination plots. He claimed the agency even targeted his family, including tracking his wife and seeking DNA samples from his infant son’s diapers.
These revelations shed light on the extensive cyber warfare and surveillance tactics employed by intelligence agencies. Supported by testimonies from U.S. intelligence officials and ongoing investigations in Spain, Assange’s claims highlight the unprecedented level of public insight into alleged CIA operations.
