Today, 9 November 2017, WikiLeaks publishes the source code and development logs to Hive, a major component of the CIA infrastructure to control its malware.

Hive solves a critical problem for the malware operators at the CIA. Even the most sophisticated malware implant on a target computer is useless if there is no way for it to communicate with its operators in a secure manner that does not draw attention. Using Hive even if an implant is discovered on a target computer, attributing it to the CIA is difficult by just looking at the communication of the malware with other servers on the internet. Hive provides a covert communications platform for a whole range of CIA malware to send exfiltrated information to CIA servers and to receive new instructions from operators at the CIA.

The latest documents from Wikileaks Vault 8 release appear to show that the CIA wrote code impersonating Kaspersky Labs’ anti-virus software. Investigative Derrick Broze tells RT America’s Anya Parampil that the revelations aren’t surprising given the information that has come from various whistleblowers like Edward Snowden.
