This is a political article (so it will probably get flagged, removed and downvoted) but, it relates to security and encryption, so I submitted it anyway
from the article:
> WebEx, a communications program from U.S.-based Cisco Systems, provides end-to-end encryption which allows for secure communications. However, if a participant dials in via a landline rather than using the app — as apparently happened in the case of the officer in Singapore — then the encryption is not guaranteed.

If you want to discuss the merits of an article, discuss its merits rather than anticipating attacks.
(IMO this submission is valid.)
Some light DDG'ing doesn't turn up any more substantive cryptographic discussion.
The phone was tapped.
Dialing in from an unsecured phone would be quite poor opsec. And tapping that phone quite a coup for the Russians.
