It's odd how murky this is, considering that it was adjudicated in court. The BBC says[0]:
>A court in Madrid heard it was assumed the message triggered alarm bells after being picked up via Gatwick's Wi-Fi network.
But that seems implausible, given that Snapchat messages are encrypted (if not end-to-end, then at least client-to-server, which should be sufficient to prevent interception via a Wi-Fi network). And why would the court hear what is "assumed"? Shouldn't the investigator(s) who testified know how the messages came into their possession?
Then The Daily Mail says[1]:
>As [sic] spokesman for Gatwick Airport denied any suggestion their network could be compromised.
