Its probably easier to just bribe/compromise the on-site DBA who has access to the physical hardware. Dump the raw data and decrypt/analyze it offsite.

It's a little unclear what was actually compromised in this if it was just what was available WhatsApp on their end that's definitely an easy way. If it's more that WhatsApp was being used to read more data from the phone than what had already been sent via WhatsApp (or if WhatsApp doesn't have access to things sent because it's E2E encrypted) it'd require something more complex than that.
