> Has there been even one "High value target apprehended because Signal" headline?
There have been a few "high value target apprehended because AN0M" headlines, and if you keep an eye out for it way more headlines/articles where you go "Yeah, that's totally another AN0M bust they just haven't publicly attributed it".
I also suspect (but have nothing more than suspicion to go on here) that companies like NSO can probably exploit phones deeply enough that they can exfiltrate screenshots of Signal. But that they do so at such high prices that it is rarely used and even more rarely hinted at publicly.
