US court finds NSO liable for using WhatsApp server to spread Pegasus spyware

A U.S. court ruled against the NSO Group, the Israeli surveillance company behind the Pegasus spyware, in a case involving WhatsApp. The court allowed WhatsApp to proceed with a lawsuit alleging that NSO Group had used the spyware to hack into users' phones, including journalists, human rights activists, and political leaders. The case centers on the alleged use of Pegasus for surveillance and its implications for privacy rights. The ruling sends a strong message about the accountability of companies involved in surveillance and their potential violations of privacy laws, especially when targeting vulnerable individuals like journalists.
