I'm not sure I understand. Let's say your SIM card has number X but you also use Google Voice number Y. If you buy flight tickets, you're probably going to give them number Y when you purchase your tickets. If a malicious state actor has access to the passenger flight manifests for the airline it's pretty likely that they also access to the other information you've given the airline, including the phone number and email you supplied the airline, so they'll also know that you gave them number Y in the checkout flow. What am I missing here? |

To my knowledge NSO software (and similar) target exploits in OS-specific applications (think default Messages app on iOS) rather than, e.g., Google Voice. That being said, I personally don't know if Google Voice and similar are special enough not to have their own exploits (spoiler: they probably aren't, and Google Voice in particular would be a very enticing target).
I'd expect there's more to it than that, though. I'm really not familiar with these exploits.
