"According to a report from last week, Effortless Motors - which was modifying a Range Rover for O'Neal before shipping it from Atlanta to Louisiana - lost track of the vehicle after it was picked up for transport. The company later confirmed to TMZ that a cyberattack on the org that was supposed to transport the vehicle led to its vanishing in transit. "This was a highly coordinated criminal act targeting the transport company's network," Effortless told TMZ."
"Israel-based NSO Group has been embroiled in a legal fight with Meta since 2019, when the social media giant discovered and patched a flaw in WhatsApp. Meta alleged the NSO used the flaw to deliver its Pegasus spyware to journalists, politicians, and other WhatsApp users. The Social Network ™ sued and a California jury awarded the company $167 million in damages in May."
Effortless Motors lost track of a Range Rover being modified for Shaquille O'Neal after the vehicle vanished in transit from Atlanta to Louisiana. The loss followed a cyberattack on the transport company's network, which Effortless described as a highly coordinated criminal act. Effortless said it is working with law enforcement and federal investigators to recover the vehicle and hold those responsible accountable. Highly customized vehicles can be difficult to fence on the black market. Separately, a U.S. district judge permanently enjoined NSO Group from interacting with Meta's WhatsApp after a 2019 exploit was used to deliver Pegasus spyware and a jury awarded $167 million.
