Social networking giant Facebook is constantly under fire from multiple fronts. It's been blamed for letting its systems influence a presidential election, data being used for profiling, and recently, for its subsidiary WhatsApp's systems being compromised through a surveillance tool designed only for state use.

The zero-day vulnerability that NSO's software used to help governments access user devices first surfaced in May this year. Now, Reuters, citing confidential sources, is reporting that government officials inside the US and its allied countries were targetted through NSO's hacking tools.
