The U.S. Supreme Court let Meta’s WhatsApp pursue a lawsuit accusing Israel's NSO Group of exploiting a bug in its messaging app to install spy software allowing the surveillance of 1,400 people, including journalists, human rights activists and dissidents
WhatsApp pursue a lawsuit accusing Israel's NSO Group of exploiting a bug in its WhatsApp messaging app to install spy software allowing the surveillance of 1,400 people, including journalists, human rights activists and dissidents.
WhatsApp in 2019 sued NSO seeking an injunction and damages, accusing it of accessing WhatsApp servers without permission six months earlier to install the Pegasus software on victims' mobile devices. In one notorious case, NSO spyware was used - allegedly by the Saudi government - to target the inner circle of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi shortly before he was murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
WhatsApp's lawyers said that private entities like NSO are "categorically ineligible" for foreign sovereign immunity.
