Israeli spyware firm NSO Group rejects WhatsApp’s explosive claim that it used a California-based server to launch more than 700 attacks on the app’s users, in its latest court filing in an ongoing lawsuit. NSO Group doubled down on its argument that it doesn’t have sufficient presence in the US to be tried there and that the court case should be dismissed.

WhatsApp is suing the company for the alleged targeting of more than 1000 of its users – including activists, human rights lawyers and journalists – with the firm’s infamous zero-click Pegasus spyware that compromised phones through missed calls on the app. NSO Group denies these allegations.
