This is surely just the tip of the iceberg of what is going on in the CIA at the moment. Senator Ron Wyden just sent a mysterious public letter about concerns about what they are doing.

Whenever there's a mystery, apply the scientific method to investigate it. Form a hypothesis, an experiment or test , then record the results and check if they support.

Hypothesis: CIA is hacking reporters to determine their government sources.

If we start seeing more government sources exposed, we haven't proven it but it supports the hypothesis.

Hypothesis: State election systems are being compromised for federal monitoring and control.

If we start seeing more improbable results in one direction, that is support for the hypothesis.

There's this from 2022, but there are probably many concerns from Wyden:
