Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are today busy deleting the personal profiles of employees at NSO Group amid an ongoing legal battle.

This move to wipe said staff off the face of Mark Zuckerberg's sprawling cyber-empire comes the day after his antisocial network sued NSO for allegedly illegally hacking the smartphones netizens via a WhatsApp vulnerability. It is believed the Israeli surveillance-ware maker was hired by a mystery customer to infect the handhelds of 1,400 people, including human-rights activists, lawyers, and journalists.
