I was just listening to Darknet Diaries episode 100 this past weekend and they mentioned an NSO-crafted zero-click vulnerability in Whatsapp that Citizen Lab had detected being exploited.
Though I suppose Whatsapp (anyone with my phone number can message me) wouldn’t qualify as an authenticated protocol.
