WhatsApp Files Contempt Order Against NSO Group for Alleged Court Order Violation

Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp has filed a federal court contempt order against spyware firm NSO Group for allegedly violating a prior court order prohibiting hacking activities. The legal action follows NSO’s continued targeting of WhatsApp users despite an existing injunction. No specific technical details, dates, or impacted user numbers were disclosed in the filing. The case centers on NSO’s alleged defiance of judicial restrictions rather than a new vulnerability or breach. The dispute remains within the U.S. federal court system, with no additional jurisdictional details provided.
