It’s hard to parse what happened here. Sounds like a MITM attack that allowed them to view messages once decrypted by the device?

Concerning that theyre spying on citizens BEFORE knowing what they are talking about.

A supply chain attack of some kind. Perhaps the app was distributed via a private store app where the french authorities had some leverage. I wonder if we’ll find out.

Or the French shared how to infiltratie the server itself.
