Recent legal revelations indicate that NSO Group, rather than its government clients, is directly responsible for installing and extracting information from smartphones targeted by its hacking software.
WhatsApp's lawsuit against NSO Group, originally filed in 2019, brings to light allegations that the NSO is the one operating the spyware, countering NSO's claims of client responsibility.
The ongoing litigation reflects broader concerns about the use of sophisticated spyware by autocratic governments, especially as political dynamics may shift following Donald Trump's potential return to the presidency.
NSO has been lobbying within Congress for its removal from the Biden administration's blacklist, highlighting tensions between national security interests and human rights advocacy in the spyware debate.
