I believe they've edited the article:

"Among other disclosures that, if confirmed, would rock the technology world, the WikiLeaks release said that the C.I.A. and allied intelligence services had managed to bypass encryption on popular phone and messaging services such as Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram. According to the statement from WikiLeaks, government hackers can penetrate Android phones and collect 'audio and message traffic before encryption is applied.'"

If that's an edit, it's still pretty poor. The 'experts' quoted are Wikileaks themselves. The disclosure 'A spy agency had 0-day exploits for mobile devices' would not rock anything.
