For the EncroChat takedown they didn't crack the encryption. They instead flipped an employee who cooperated in the installation of a remote access Trojan on all the phones. Are they actually claiming they did something different here?
The Trojan angle is pretty solid because EncroChat was at one point fighting malware on the phone[1]. Not so much for the insider angle so I was probably thinking of another case. Too late to edit unfortunately...
