Facebook sues Israeli firm over WhatsApp call exploit attacks

Facebook has filed a lawsuit against the NSO Group, accusing the Israeli cybersurveillance firm of using WhatsApp to spread spyware to 1,400 mobile devices in 20 countries from April through May. While the tech giant didn't say who it believes NSO's client was, the attacks focused on devices located in Mexico, Bahrain and the UAE. WhatsApp did reveal, however, that the victims included 100 journalists, some prominent female leaders, human rights activists and political dissidents.
