The Supreme Court on Jan. 9 allowed Facebook parent Meta to move forward with a lawsuit claiming that Israeli spyware maker NSO Group improperly accessed WhatsApp servers as it was installing spyware on the electronic devices of some users.
NSO Group had asked the high court to halt the lawsuit in the petition filed in NSO Group Technologies Ltd. v. WhatsApp Inc., court file 21-1338. The Supreme Court declined to do so in an unsigned order, without explaining its decision.
