A jury has ordered the NSO Group to pay Meta over $167 million in damages for spreading malware via WhatsApp with its Pegasus spyware. This ruling is a significant win for Meta in a protracted legal dispute, where they argued that over 1,400 individuals were targeted by these cyber attacks, compromising privacy and security. The verdict includes $444,719 in compensatory damages and a substantial punitive award.
