WikiLeaks has published a trove of files it says are Punjabi Archiveslinked to the CIA's hacking operations — which apparently includes efforts to hack into cars.
SEE ALSO: WikiLeaks document dump alleges the CIA can hack almost everythingThe first in a series called "Vault 7," "Year Zero" supposedly comprises 8,761 documents and files from an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virginia.
"Year Zero" details the CIA's malware arsenal and "zero day" exploits against Apple iPhones, Google's Android operating system, Microsoft Windows and even Samsung TVs.
But that's not all.
According to a document from 2014, the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks.

It is not clear why the CIA would want to worm its way into cars, though you could probably dream up a few reasons.
"The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations," WikiLeaks says in its press release.
Mashable has not yet confirmed the allegations in WikiLeaks' press release but will continue to follow this story as it develops.
