For a layman, how might one deduce if they were affected? I cannot really tell from the article if this was particularly widespread.
If you haven’t logged in to your WhatsApp through any third party applications you should be fine.
No way to know for sure based on this. If you used any app that "works with" WhatsApp in any way, you could be affected.
