An accurate WL release would say: "CIA has underwhelming tools, many known, to laboriously hack phones one by one. Update your software!"
An accurate story on protecting journalists or activists would highlight: update software. Use two-factor. Get a security key.
The biggest danger is not fancy-pants CIA tools (they aren't even fancy pants). It's phishing. There is much you can do to protect yourself.
A security key will stop your Gmail & Facebook from being phished. Get one. Use two-factor with authenticator app if no security key option.
the 2-factor systems I've used have a "trust this device" feature. Is that a significant security risk?
Depends on your threat model. If you are a journalists, I wouldn't use it. If you are a teen with nosy sibling, also no.
