Back around ten years ago, this spy software came up on the market, and was supposed to be used on 'bad' guys. It was developed by an Israeli company (NSO Group).
Somewhere in the process of things....the software (loadable on tabs, smart-phones, etc)....catches key-strokes and phone-numbers.
So the user list went past just plain bad guys, and started to include journalists, businessmen, and human rights type folks.
The odds that politicians have been monitored? No one talks much over that but if you look at the various 'users'....it wouldn't take much to monitor all 100 US Senators. Monitoring of Secret Service personnel? Same story. Watching bankers and investment folks.....for trends? Same story.
Over the next six months, I expect hundreds of folks to discover their chats were intercepted, and this becomes a big deal.
