NSO barred from installing spyware on WA
A US judge on Friday granted an injunction barring Israeli maker Group from targeting WhatsApp users but slashed a $168 million damages award at trial to just $4 million.
“Today’s ruling bans spyware maker NSO from ever targeting WhatsApp and our global users again,” WhatsApp boss Will Cathcart said in a statement. The litigation went on for six years.
at trial showed that NSO reverse-engineered WhatsApp code to stealthily install spyware targeting users, according to the ruling. The spyware was repeatedly redesigned to escape detection and bypass security fixes at WhatsApp, the court concluded.
