Meta accuses NSO Group of defying spyware injunction, files contempt of court complaint
Meta accused NSO Group of violating a court injunction by conducting a spearphishing campaign linked to its Pegasus spyware, prompting a contempt-of-court complaint. The campaign mirrored past attacks targeting journalists and activists in Jordan, and Meta argued that NSO Group's actions justify maintaining its status on the U.S. sanctions list. Researchers and lawmakers have expressed concerns about NSO Group's compliance with legal and security restrictions.
