US judge rules NSO Group liable for hacking WhatsApp users, including journalists and activists.

US District Judge Phyllis Hamilton ruled that Israel's NSO Group is liable for hacking WhatsApp users, including journalists and activists, by exploiting a bug in the app to install spyware. The court found NSO Group guilty of hacking and breaching contracts, and the case will now proceed to trial to determine damages. NSO had argued its Pegasus software aids law enforcement, but the ruling emphasizes privacy concerns.
