NSO Should Lose Spyware Case for Discovery Violations, Meta Says


WhatsApp and its parent Meta Platforms Inc. asked a judge to award them a total win against spyware maker NSO Group as punishment for discovery violations in a years-long case accusing the Israeli company of violating anti-hacking laws.

“NSO’s discovery violations were willful, and unfairly skew the record on virtually every key issue in the case, from the merits, to jurisdiction, to damages, making a full and fair trial on the facts impossible,” they said. The complaint said NSO violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act by deploying malware onto phones to surveil users and collect data. In March 2023, NSO moved for a protective order, claiming that obligations under Israeli law prevent it from producing the requested documents.
