"It is difficult to keep viable control of digital weapons... In the event that you construct them, in the long run you will lose them," Assange said.
Assange was talking in a public interview gushed live from Ecuador's international safe haven in London, where he has been living as an outlaw from equity since 2012.
He said his against mystery site had "significantly more data" about the Central Intelligence Agency's hacking operation however would hold off on distributing it until WikiLeaks had addressed tech producers.
"We have chosen to work with them to give them some elite access to the extra specialized points of interest we have so fixes can be produced and afterward pushed out.
"When this material is viably incapacitated by us we will distribute extra insights about what has been happening," he included.

- Hacking into TVs -
On Tuesday, WikiLeaks distributed almost 9,000 archives it said were a piece of an enormous trove spilled from the CIA, portraying it as the biggest ever production of mystery knowledge materials.
"This exceptional gathering, which adds up to more than a few hundred million lines of code, gives its holder the whole hacking limit of the CIA," it said.
The archives demonstrated that CIA programmers can transform a TV into a listening gadget, sidestep prominent encryption applications, and conceivably control one's auto.
Most specialists trust the materials to be certifiable, and US media said Wednesday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is opening a criminal test into the hole.
The wellspring of the materials stayed indistinct.
The examination could concentrate on whether the CIA was messy in its controls, or, as The Washington Post announced, it could be "a noteworthy mole chase" for a malignant leaker or turncoat inside the organization.
WikiLeaks itself said the records, hacking apparatuses and code originated from a document that had flowed among US government programmers and private contractual workers.
"The CIA has been so rushed to create this material. So do different digital mafia as of now have it? Do outside insight offices as of now have it? It's very conceivable various individuals as of now may have it," Assange said.
An examination would come as the CIA is as of now enmeshed in a politically-charged test into Russia's claimed obstruction in the US race a year ago in support of President Donald Trump's battle.
- 'Do us hurt' -
WikiLeaks has staggered the US government with a progression of distributions of top mystery political, strategic and knowledge materials as of late.
The CIA on Wednesday blamed the gathering for jeopardizing Americans, helping US matches and hampering the battle against fear dangers through its breaks.
A CIA representative would not affirm the genuineness of the materials distributed by WikiLeaks.
All things considered, said representative Heather Fritz Horniak, "The American open ought to be profoundly grieved by any WikiLeaks revelation intended to harm the insight group's capacity to ensure America against psychological militants and different enemies."
"Such divulgences risk US work force and operations, as well as outfit our enemies with instruments and data to do us hurt," she said.
Horniak shielded the CIA's digital operations, which the WikiLeaks materials demonstrated concentrated intensely on breaking into individual hardware utilizing an extensive variety of malware frameworks.
"CIA must be inventive, bleeding edge, and the primary line of resistance in shielding this nation from foes abroad," she said.
