WikiLeaks dumped a classified CIA malware that tracks geo-location of targeted PCs and laptops running the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Dubbed ELSA, the malware captures the IDs of nearby public hotspots and then matches them with the global database of public Wi-Fi hotspots' locations.

Since March, the whistleblowing group has published 14 batches of "Vault 7" series, which includes the latest and last week leaks, along with the following batches:


1. Brutal Kangaroo – a CIA tool suite for Microsoft Windows that targets closed networks or air-gapped computers within an enterprise or organization without requiring any direct access.

2. Cherry Blossom – a CIA's framework, generally a remotely controllable firmware-based implant, used for monitoring the Internet activity of the target systems by exploiting flaws in WiFi devices.

3. Pandemic – a CIA's project that allowed the spying agency to turn Windows file servers into covert attack machines that can silently infect other computers of interest inside a targeted network.

4. Athena – an agency's spyware framework that has been designed to take full control over the infected Windows machines remotely, and works with every version of Microsoft's Windows operating systems, from Windows XP to Windows 10.
