A Google search for "France phone camera" only gives this posted link and dailymail.co.uk article, both of which are not really trustworthy sources, IMO.

So I'm gonna go with "this is very possibly fake news".

And sensitive professions including doctors, journalists, lawyers, judges and MPs would not be legitimate targets.
