But stuff that they have released have been real, dude. As in, real emails etc. Noone dares to directly say they are fabricated because they aren't. Unless I missed something, the mainstream media narrative was that "someone could have inserted fabricated data in the massive leak".

No no no VGA, you see, if WikiLeaks released something against Trump it would be credible and 100% true. If it paints the Democrats in a bad light then obviously it isn't true.

The CIA reports show the USG developing vulnerabilities in US products, then intentionally keeping the holes open. Reckless beyond words.
Why is this dangerous? Because until closed, any hacker can use the security hole the CIA left open to break into any iPhone in the world.

It gets even worse in the latest leak; basically, the CIA has worldwide access through microphones in smart devices, such as Samsung's tv.

Quote:
The alleged program, called "Weeping Angel," is said to have been developed in partnership with MI5, the British spy agency, and records using the device's microphone when it is seemingly switched off.

"After infestation, Weeping Angel places the target TV in a 'Fake-Off' mode, so that the owner falsely believes the TV is off when it is on," the press release accompanying the release from WikiLeaks said. "In 'Fake-Off' mode the TV operates as a bug, recording conversations in the room and sending them over the Internet to a covert CIA server."

(just picked a random news source, there are others with more details)

It's like those TVs from Orwell's 1984 Laughing

Are these using backdoors that the companies left in their firmware or are independently developed exploits by intelligence contractors?
