Haven't read the article yet, but I guarantee the "hacking messaging apps" is just phishing again.
the subscript say it was spearfishing... so you are half right :D
@ZkhqrD5o well, as long as the EU officials use Signal and WhatsApp accounts, "spearphishing" attacks are much easier than e.g. with #matrix messanger.
