If the attack happened after you have started communicating wouldn't you get a notification that the key of those you're communicating with has changed? An attack would only be invisible if it happened from the first communication. But unless it's very targeted someone somewhere would compare the keys and notice.

Any platform you use they could have gotten to the servers or the owners of the servers. Hell, they could patch the servers in memory so there's never any trace in source code.
