The documents also reveal that NSO disconnected 10 government customers in recent years from accessing the Pegasus spyware, citing abuse of its service.
This release of new revelations is the latest development in the lawsuit that WhatsApp filed in 2019, accusing NSO of violating the anti-hacking law, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and breaching WhatsApp’s terms of service, by accessing WhatsApp servers and targeting individual users with spyware sent over the chat app. The accusations are based on a series of cyberattacks against WhatsApp users, including journalists, dissidents, and human rights advocates.
