Jury orders NSO Group to pay $168 million to WhatsApp for facilitating Pegasus hacks of its users (Suzanne Smally – The Record)

A Northern California jury on Tuesday decided that a spyware manufacturer must pay $167 million in punitive damages for its role facilitating the hacking of 1,400 WhatsApp users’ mobile phones. The six-year case is the culmination of a Meta lawsuit filed in 2019, which argued that the manufacturer, the NSO Group, repeatedly attacked WhatsApp with spyware vectors, continuing to break into its systems even as the social media giant patched vulnerabilities.
