WhatsApp is slamming NSO Group again, accusing them of blatantly ignoring a court order by launching a phishing scam designed to infect users with spyware — a move WhatsApp says proves NSO is in contempt. This isn’t the first time — last year, a judge ordered NSO to stop targeting WhatsApp users, and now WhatsApp is taking legal action. The fallout traces back to a 2019 global hack where NSO’s Pegasus spyware infected over 1,400 WhatsApp users, leading to a lawsuit and a hefty fine (later reduced). NSO’s tools have long been used to target journalists, activists, and political dissidents worldwide, prompting tech companies to fight back with exposure, lawsuits, and better security. Despite a new investor group buying into NSO to “clean up” its image and lobby regulators, the U.S. government still keeps them on a blocklist — and they haven’t been removed.
