They at least re-clarified on twitter. But not in the article. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/839160771674255360 https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/83916077

- compuguy 10y agoI believe they've edited the article: "Among other disclosures that, if confirmed, would rock the technology world, the WikiLeaks release said that the C.I.A. and allied intelligence services had managed to bypass encryption on popular phone and messaging services such as Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram. According to the statement from WikiLeaks, government hackers can penetrate Android phones and collect 'audio and message traffic before encryption is applied.'"
