SCOTUS OKs WhatsApp Suit Against NSO Group


Supreme Court rules WhatsApp can sue NSO Group for damages caused by unauthorized Pegasus spyware installations.



The US Supreme Court has denied a petition to block WhatsApp from suing NSO Group for damages caused by malicious Pegasus spyware installations.
WhatsApp claims the Israel-based NSO Group targeted 1,400 WhatsApp users in April and May of 2019 with
Pegasus spyware
, committing fraud against the company and bogging down the
platforms servers
.
The
Supreme Court ruling
means WhatsApp can proceed with its litigation.
NSOs spyware has enabled cyberattacks targeting human rights activists, journalists, and government officials, Meta said in a statement
following the ruling
. We firmly believe that their operations violate US law and they must be held to account for their unlawful operations.
