Risky Bulletin: Meta says NSO violated court order with new campaign targeting WhatsApp
Meta discovered and disrupted a new NSO Group hacking campaign targeting WhatsApp users through spear-phishing messages, which the company claims violates a US court order from October. Meta filed a legal complaint against the Israeli spyware firm seeking a contempt of court finding. The campaign attempted to redirect users who clicked malicious links to external sites.
Why it matters: WhatsApp users and organizations relying on the platform face ongoing targeting by state-sponsored spyware; practitioners should monitor for similar spear-phishing campaigns and reinforce user awareness of suspicious link clicks.
