"The evidence unveiled shows exactly how NSO's operations violated U.S. law and launched their cyber-attacks against journalists, human rights activists and civil society," WhatsApp spokesperson Zade Alsawah said in a statement.
According to the court documents, NSO had developed a suite of hacking tools to be used against targets using WhatsApp, capable of accessing private data on the target's phone.
The newly unsealed documents include information coming from depositions of NSO employees during the legal proceedings, internal company documents, as well as WhatsApp messages exchanged between NSO employees.
NSO disconnected 10 government customers in recent years from accessing the Pegasus spyware, citing abuse of its service.
