Meta has filed a contempt-of-court complaint against NSO Group, accusing the spyware company of violating a permanent injunction by continuing to target WhatsApp users through a spearphishing campaign. The campaign involved malicious links, fake accounts, and WhatsApp groups designed to lure victims to external websites. Meta argues this violation demonstrates why NSO Group should remain on the U.S. Entity List.
