Question

Does fabrication of Hadith still take place?

Answer

When people can lie, forge and wrongly attribute things to others, then definitely they can wrongly attribute things to Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Hence, if they wrongly attribute things to Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), then this will be called fabricating Ahaadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
