Apple stated its decision to dismiss the case follows a nuanced shift in the commercial spyware landscape, with rising threats from other malicious actors.
Despite believing in the strength of its claims against NSO Group, Apple acknowledged that continuing the lawsuit could jeopardize key security information.
The company initially aimed to hold NSO accountable for using its Pegasus tool to surveil users, labeling them as 'amoral mercenaries' in cyber-surveillance.
Following legal developments, including a judge’s denial of NSO’s dismissal motion, Apple recognized new risks and opted for a voluntary withdrawal.
