A U.S. judge blocks NSO Group from hacking WhatsApp users, citing repeated spyware attacks on journalists and activists.
A U.S. federal judge has blocked NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp users, issuing a permanent injunction after finding the Israeli company repeatedly hacked into devices using reverse-engineered code to deploy Pegasus spyware.
The ruling, by Judge Phyllis Hamilton, upheld that NSO’s actions caused ongoing, irreparable harm, though it reduced the damages award from $168 million to $4 million, stating the conduct, while unlawful, did not meet the "particularly egregious" standard.
The court found NSO evaded detection by updating its spyware to bypass WhatsApp’s security patches, targeting journalists, lawyers, and activists.
The decision prevents future attacks on WhatsApp users globally, marking a significant legal setback for the firm, which claims it only sells to governments for legitimate law enforcement and counterterrorism purposes.
