Meta Reports NSO Group Hacking Attempts on WhatsApp May Breach Court Order

Meta disclosed recent hacking attempts on its WhatsApp messaging platform. The attacks were traced to Israel's NSO Group, a firm known for spyware tools. NSO Group is accused of exploiting vulnerabilities to access user data. Federal court records show a prohibition that bars the company from targeting U.S. users. The uncovered attempts could be in violation of that court order. Meta said the incidents raise concerns about the security of its services. U.S. authorities may investigate the alleged breach of the court injunction. The case highlights ongoing tensions over foreign spyware and American tech platforms.
