I wonder if the issue is not even worse. If I was an intelligence agency that wanted to listen in on some world leaders, I would not (only) target the devices of the PM/President etc., but on the PAs and bureaucrats in the vicinity. I suspect they would likely be easier targets and one would get as much interesting information from them as from the world leader themself.
