A jury has ordered spyware maker NSO Group to pay $167 million in damages to WhatsApp for a hacking campaign that affected over 1,400 people in 2019. NSO Group has labeled this ruling as excessive and unconstitutional, filing a motion for a new trial or reduction of damages under a legal process known as 'remittitur'. Their lawyers argue that the punitive award significantly exceeds the legal limits and demonstrates hostility towards NSO rather than being based solely on their actions. WhatsApp, however, expresses commitment to fighting this decision.
