Cars, TVs, phones, laptops, if you've seen a device hacked on Homeland or 24,

it can most likely be hacked in real life too.

Today, we want to tell you a story that puts the latest Wikileaks dump in perspective.

What does all the government's secrecy around its surveillance tools mean for us regular people?

As of this taping, there is no evidence that the CIA has used these tools to spy on Americans.

That would be legal.

CIA hasn't even said whether these documents are authentic,

but the FBI is now investigating who might have sent them to Wikileaks,

so that's being taken as some confirmation.

Because here's the problem.

If the CIA knew about these software vulnerabilities,

that means that other people know about them too,

and they could hack the gadgets that most of us own.

One example in the documents that spies have the tools to remotely turn on an interactive Samsung TV,

and record conversations in the room.
