A US judge has ruled that Israeli company NSO Group Technologies violated laws and WhatsApp’s terms of service, granting the messaging app a legal victory over the maker of Pegasus spyware. Meta accused the company of infecting and surveilling 1,400 people with its notorious software in 2019. NSO Group will face a jury trial next year to determine damages owed to WhatsApp. The judge found the company had repeatedly failed to comply with requests for source code, citing it as a major reason for granting sanctions against the firm.
