Counter-intelligence investigators are scrambling to figure out how classified CIA hacking tools were stolen from the CIA ? and whether an agency employee, contractors, Russian hackers or some combination of the three is to blame, U.
S.
officials told NBC News.
A senior intelligence official confirmed to NBC News that the more than 8,000 documents posted by WikiLeaks include authentic material about CIA hacking methods, some of it classified Top Secret.
And the CIA is not denying the WikiLeaks claim that it has a much larger archive of material it has yet to publish.
" A former senior official at the National Security Agency told NBC News that may be exaggerated.
"The damage assessment isn`t completed yet," said Juan Zarate, a former senior U.
S.
counterterrorism official and NBC News consultant.
