Concerning the article though, the Mail seems a bit dubious about whether Wikileaks claims are true, but if they are this is kind of scary.
My understanding was that with the new whisper encryption of whatsapp you can't access stuff without the security code changing, and it notifying you (provided you have it turned on). Tell you that either the phone has changed, or someone is snooping. The guys behind Signal put it together, and the consensus is it hasn't been broken yet. Unless they attack the phone itself, but that's not compromising the encryption of those apps. That's compromising the phone and that's a whole other ballgame.
So we don't know if they are.
