BREAKING : Why Does the CIA Name Servers After Russian President Vladimir Putin?
On Tuesday, Wikileaks dropped “Vault 7,” a report including nearly 9 thousand sensitive CIA documents.
We’ve learned that the CIA is using tools like smartphones, TV’s, and even cars to monitor and control Americans.
We’ve also discovered that the CIA poses as “Russian hackers” to hide their dirty work.
Is that why some of the CIA servers are named after Russian President Vladimir Putin?
According to the Wikileaks data dump, the CIA has five top secret “listening posts” called Pocket Putin.

From RT.com
Listening posts are used to monitor devices, such as computers and phones, which have been hacked with the CIA’s malware implants. Malware is a malicious software used to disrupt or infiltrate computers and mobile devices.
The ‘Pocket Putin’ listening posts are virtual and are stored on a CIA server.
The posts named after the Russian leader are used by the Operational Support Branch (OSB) of the CIA, which acts as a middleman between CIA operational staff and the agency’s technical support staff.

CIA case officers make requests to the OSB who then help turn those requests into hacking attacks on CIA targets.
The Putin listening posts are stored on the OSB’s big server, known as the ESXi, which is used to deploy and service an array of virtual computers operated by the spy agency.
While the documents don’t detail where the ‘Pocket Putins’ are used, or the content they collect, listening posts are used to monitor and communicate with malware which has already infected computers and other devices.
Honestly, after learning this information, how can we ever trust anything the CIA says?
Many suggest that the CIA is working as the “right-hand” of Obama’s shadow government.
Do you agree?
