WhatsApp just sued Israel-based security company, the NSO Group, in a US federal court for allegedly injecting malware into over 1,400 targets’ phones through the messaging service.
The Facebook-owned company accused the NSO Group of installing malware into phones for surveillance. The court filing says the security company wasn’t able to break WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption, so it used malicious code to snoop on chat messages.
