/ 1 min read
WhatsApp wins legal battle revealing NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware operations. A U.S. federal judge has ordered the release of court documents that expose the inner workings of NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware, including details from employee depositions and internal communications. The documents reveal that NSO disconnected access to Pegasus for ten government clients due to misuse and highlight the company’s development of hacking tools capable of targeting WhatsApp users. WhatsApp’s ongoing lawsuit against NSO, initiated in 2019, accuses the company of violating U.S. law and breaching its terms of service by facilitating cyberattacks on users, including journalists and activists.
