  exactly. to claim enumerating phone numbers is a whatsapp bug is stupid. and to say profile pictures were not revealed = not reading tfa.

    "The accessible data items used in the study are the same that are public for anyone who knows a user's phone number and consist of: phone number, public keys, timestamps, and, if set to public, about text and profile picture." Source: TFA, which I read.
