For anyone not reading between the lines, the US, Israeli, and a bunch of other governments are paying for software that can spy on your WhatsApp messages through a client side malware attack directly against the app.
The most surprising part, to me, is that this is evidence that WhatsApp may actually have unbroken end to end encryption (which I think they've claimed for awhile, but I didn't believe them.)
Edit: But then, this is mostly based on statements released by Meta, so maybe I'm just a sucker for believing them when they say it differently.
