      That’s funny on several information security podcast I had heard that the NSA had made the Pegasus spyware?

      Unfortunately nothing will come of this, there is no jurisdiction and there is really a whole lot of overlap with our own interests.

      blacklisting it won’t help either, they’ll just call it something else: i.e Cellebrite, which US police departments already have on contract.

      > In a summary judgment, the judge found NSO Group violated the US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Apple had filed a similar suit against the company but dropped it in September.
      NSO Group dragged its feet throughout the litigation, according to the judge’s ruling. Hamilton had ordered NSO Group to provide WhatsApp with the source code of its spyware in early 2024. In her Friday ruling, however, she said the company repeatedly failed to comply, a major reason she granted WhatsApp’s request for sanctions against the company.

      The judge should place sanctions on NSO employees as well.
