<p>Julian Assange’s site has contacted the firms concerned with a list of conditions and, according to some sources, it has given them a 90-day deadline to comply.</p>
<p>WikiLeaks initially seemed unsure about whether it should give more information to the companies, including Google, Apple, Microsoft and Samsung, when it published the Vault 7 files in early March.</p>

<p>The Vault 7 leak alleges the CIA took advantage of security vulnerabilities to develop ways of using products like smart TVs to listen in on the public.<br />
After the files were published, WikiLeaks said it would give the companies extra information on gaps in their security systems so they could be plugged.</p>

<p>Motherboard quotes internal sources from the tech firms as saying they’ve been asked by WikiLeaks to agree to certain conditions before being given the data, with one mentioning a three-month deadline to fix the problems as part of the deal. The site’s exact demands are not known.</p>
<p>Multiple sources told Motherboard the companies concerned are in a difficult position, with security departments currently waiting on legal advisers to make a decision on what action to take.</p>
