This is definitely the kind of thing intelligence agencies look for but considering the half century of C programmers utterly failing at decoding files safely makes me highly skeptical that anyone needed to compromise all of these vendors. Also, the Hamas thing is a bit of a tangent but given that Israel had over a year’s advance notice I suspect that elite hacking is not a prerequisite.
