No, just hacked. Code signing keys get abused all the time. It's why Microsoft now insist they're held in hardware devices whereas they used to allow them to be free-standing files, but it hardly helps.
If you think about it for even a moment you'll see that for code signing to be meaningful requires a completely locked down software supply chain, including controls that trace through developer laptops and third party open source code that's pulled in to your application. The typical app developer combines components from a huge number of sources of unknown reputability and security strength, which are then all executed on laptops that have permission to push arbitrary jobs to CI clusters.
