What is Vault 7: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/

The 2017 puzzles from sevens.exposed seemed to predict Year Zero, with a website featuring countdown clocks proclaiming "7 is sacred", which changed to "7 has arrived" on the day of Year Zero's release . Also one Image very early on in 2017 puzzles showing seven 7's .

"THE PRIMES ARE SACRED... ALL THINGS SHOULD BE ENCRYPTED"

My hunch is that the former U.S. government hackers and contractors circulating CIA hacking tools amongst themselves mentioned in the release for Year Zero are, or are a part of, 'Cicada 7'. They've been deep in the Intelligence Community for the past decade+ [siphoning out information: http://www.darkreading.com/threat-intelligence/nsa-contractor-over-20-years-stole-more-than-50-terabytes-of-govt-data-/d/d-id/1327254 and compiling it in 'Vault 7'. It's now time for the information to emerge from the underground.

Here is the 10 weird coincidences about Vault 7 and Cicada 3301 and how they connect.  https://youtu.be/K5PBp47z5jo

The 12-page legal brief alleges that in the 20 years between 1996 and 2016 that Martin worked with government, he stole a staggering 50 terabytes of data in digital form and an additional six banker's boxes full of printed documents... Martin's cache of stolen data is also believed to have included information on top-secret hacking tools developed by US intelligence agencies, the New York Times reported this week, citing unnamed sources.

Cicada 3301 has also echoed WikiLeak's philosophy in the past and seems concerned with protecting whistleblowers:

Former Cicada insider claims the mysterious group had 'decided to create software to protect whistle-blowers like Chelsea Manning, who was facing trial at the time': http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/cicada-solving-the-webs-deepest-mystery-20150115

The most obvious clue: Cicada 3+3+0+1=7, aka Cicada and 7s.

"We are a group of individuals who have proven ourselves much like you have by completing this recruitment contest, and we are drawn together by common beliefs. A careful reading of the texts used in the contest would have revealed some of these beliefs, that tyranny and oppression of any kind must end, that censorship is wrong and that privacy is an inalienable right."

Now that the new brood had been taken in, the 3301 members told them, they would be tasked with creating software that fit the ideology of the group.
