“This claim is inaccurate. The information about the CIA's capability to hack vehicles was revealed by WikiLeaks in its March 2017 "Vault 7" data dump, not by John Kiriakou. These documents detailed various CIA cyber warfare and surveillance tools, including research into infecting vehicle control systems. While Kiriakou, a former CIA officer, has publicly commented on the Vault 7 leaks and confirmed these capabilities in interviews, he was not the original source of the revelation. Context: The claim correctly identifies a real capability discussed in leaked CIA documents but misattributes the source of the leak. The disclosure came from WikiLeaks, and Kiriakou has since acted as a commentator and expert confirming the information from his perspective as a former insider.”
