Yeah, but the "intelligence operation" was that his girlfriend was a spy. Inevitably, that's going to involve asking questions like "did he give his girlfriend sensitive stuff?".

The headline is indeed misleading, but so is your reinterpretation. It's not like the guy got his phone hacked.

It's worse than that - his mistress was a spy. This carries additional concerns since it opens the possibility of blackmail or extortion.

Usually those body parts you share are quite sensitive. That's the point.
