It was largely used in 2019 to hack Brazilian politicians, including state ministers. The hacked telegram messages were passed to Glenn Greenwald, linked to Assange.

Do you have any sources on that (the specific technique that was used)? Google returned nothing.

AFAIK, they were hacked using plain simple SIM swap/cloning.
