WikiLeaks: CIA has been monitoring the iPhone supply chain since 2008

March 24th, according to the Fortune Magazine, WikiLeaks released a secret file called "Dark Matter" today, which revealed the CIA's secret surveillance program, which includes specifically for Macs and smartphones. project.

Documents released by WikiLeaks website show that some monitoring projects of CIA have been running for nearly 10 years, and sometimes even secretly monitor Apple device users. One of the projects is called NightSkies 1.2, which is the "Beacon/Loader/Injection Tool" used by the CIA since 2008. This tool is personally installed by a CIA agent on a newly manufactured iPhone or a mobile phone that the user has not yet operated on. The CIA can use it to monitor users. According to WikiLeaks, the CIA is likely to redirect iPhone shipments in order to install this tool.

A few weeks before the publication of the "dark matter" document, the WikiLeaks website has released a large number of secret documents, revealing how the CIA over the past few years has monitored electronic products made by several well-known technology companies. Apple is one of these monitored technology companies, and its monitoring may also be the largest in CIA history.

Among the 8,700 documents published on WikiLeaks, including mentioning how the CIA used loopholes in Apple's mobile operating system iOS to monitor unsuspecting iPhone users. Apple responded that nearly 80% of the leaks in the file have been fixed by security patches and will continue to quickly resolve the discovered vulnerabilities. After WikiLeaks’ exposure to Android smartphones was also hacked, Google responded similarly.

The release of "dark matter" prompted the CIA monitoring project to be continuously exposed. In addition to the NightSkies project, the organization also exposed the CIA project named Sonic Screwdriver. The CIA described in the file that this project allows CIA agents to remotely invade the user's Apple computer through peripheral devices such as USB. Other tools can also be embedded in computer software, allowing CIA to exploit vulnerabilities.

These documents, including brochures and other information obtained by WikiLeaks, are currently available on their website. At the streaming press conference held at Periscope, Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, stated that the publication of "dark matter" was only a matter of similar materials that the site plans to release in the coming days and weeks. a small part. Neither Apple nor the CIA responded. (small)

Miniature Slip Ring

What is a miniature slip ring? Miniature slip rings are rotary electrical connectors that allow power and data to be transferred between a stationary and rotating structure. They are often used in medical, military, and aerospace applications where size and weight are critical factors.


A miniature slip ring typically consists of two parts: a stationary housing and a rotating contact assembly. The contact assembly contains the brushes that make electrical contact with the rotating structure, as well as the rings that conduct current or data.


The housing can be made from any number of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. It is typically designed to be as small and lightweight as possible while still providing adequate strength and durability.


The contact assembly is made from precious metals such as gold or silver in order to provide good electrical conductivity.

Technology improves with the continuous development of precision machinery. The more sophisticated the equipment, the smaller the volume will be. And the space that can be accommodated for installing the slip ring is also very small. The key parts of some equipment are quite a district. Especially in the high-end military, aerospace and aviation fields. 360-degree rotation is required to transmit current and signals. And the installation space is greatly reduced. It is to make the equipment work more smoothly. Therefore, it is necessary to design the slip ring to be small and exquisite. Otherwise, it won't meet the needs of the installation.

At the same time, we have moved with the continuous development of science and technology. Various high-end precision instruments have been developed. It requires the slip ring to transmit the current amount of general power. Also often undertake the transmission of weak electrical signals and various weak signals. The transmission medium is wider, and the number of loops of the slip ring is increasing.
