#Vault7 hacking leak clearly an 'inside job' – former CIA deputy director

The WikiLeaks could’ve only obtained documents from CIA’s covert hacking program from somebody within the agency, said former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell.

When asked by CBS This Morning if the so-called “Vault 7” revelations could’ve been an inside job, Morell replied without hesitation: “absolutely.”

"This data is not shared outside CIA. It's only inside CIA. It's on CIA's top secret network, which is not connected to any other network. So, this has to be an inside job," he said.

Morell advised the CIA to look into if the WikiLeaks informant was a staff employee or a contractor, and if any "red flags" were missed.
