This reflects VERY badly on the nation of Equador. It reveals that their promise of sanctuary to Assange was meaningless. Worse, it calls into question ANY claim of diplomatic privilege by Equador toward anyone and their private communications is untrustworthy and will remain so until the entire present government of Equador is dead and gone.

Simply put, Equador canot be trusted. Now everyone knows.

Alas, the same can be said for Sweden now that it's been revealed that their prosecution of Assange was baseless.

Wait, how it is Ecuador's fault that the Americans managed to spy on their embassy?

I guess it shows Ecuador’s counterintelligence skills aren’t up to the level of a superpower, but I’m pretty sure anyone could have guessed that one already.
