Facebook Sues Israeli Surveillance Firm After WhatsApp Hack

The NSO Group allegedly hacked 1400 WhatsApp users across 20 countries, targeting journalists, activists, and officials. Facebook, which owns WhatsApp, urged users to update their apps to prevent further breaches. The NSO Group is accused of using its Pegasus software to exploit WhatsApp's video call feature, allowing malware installation without user interaction. WhatsApp has since implemented new security measures. NSO Group denies the allegations, claiming its technology is intended for government use to combat crime and terrorism.
