Description

WhatsApp just scored a major victory against notorious spyware maker NSO Group! A federal judge slapped NSO Group with a permanent ban, preventing them from hacking or targeting WhatsApp users after a 2019 campaign that targeted over 1400 individuals, including journalists and activists. While WhatsApp celebrates this landmark win for user privacy, a twist: the $167 million penalty against NSO Group was slashed to just $4 million. Plus, NSO Group is being acquired by US investors, leaving the future of the company uncertain. Find out how this all impacts your WhatsApp security!
