Doesn't that suggest that there are other attacks and exploits that the CIA potentially has that weren't leaked?

WikiLeaks claims to have leaked less than 1% of their material.

And you seem like the last person who should make the all or nothing security fallacy. Just because fancy rootkits exist doesn't mean we shouldn't protect ourselves against the easy stuff. Isn't your argument basically either turn your threat mitigation up to 11 (nation state bad assery) or give up.
