BREAKING: “There is heavy shit coming down,” one former CIA contractor said Wednesday.
The FBI has opened a criminal investigation into the release of a large cache of potentially classified information by Wikileaks on Tuesday. Thousands of documents the website says reveal the entire cyber espionage capabilities of the CIA.

Multiple U.S. officials reportedly confirmed the investigation Wednesday, which will be coordinated by both federal agencies. The main thrust of the probe, the officials said, will be how WikiLeaks acquired the nearly 8,000 items it published Tuesday and whether the site might be holding more.

The documents, which WikiLeaks termed "Vault 7," specify the hacking capabilities and methods used by the United States' spy agency to tap into electronic devices like smartphones and smart televisions. The site called it "largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency."
