A federal judge in California issued a permanent injunction against NSO Group Technologies Ltd., banning the company from accessing WhatsApp due to allegations of repeated hacking. The injunction prevents NSO from creating accounts, developing software, or collecting data from the messaging service unless consent is granted by WhatsApp. NSO Group is appealing the decision, claiming it threatens their business and future government contracts.
