Silicon Valley shrugs off Julian Assange's help – and questions his motives

WikiLeaks founder pledged to help patch bugs outlined in CIA leaks, but many in the tech world say leaks aren't that troubling and worry instead about Russia ties

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's pledge to help Silicon Valley technology companies patch the bugs outlined in leaked CIA files has been met with skepticism from the security community.
