I think as long as secure computing isn't convenient enough for many people out there, these news will just rise in numbers. There are likely many out there secure computing, and we don't hear the news about them because they don't get hacked. But with the convenience of using smartphones and sending anything quickly over them using (insert your favorite messenger service) statistically many people will be using them, even for absurdly important/critical communication, and a small number of them will be hacked. Services like WhatsApp/iMessage will just keep adding more features to stay feasible, and more people will be using the feasible services, with more features creating new attack surfaces inevitably.
