A federal judge in California has issued a permanent injunction against NSO Group Technologies Ltd., banning the company from accessing WhatsApp. This ruling follows allegations that NSO Group repeatedly hacked the messaging service, which is owned by Meta Platforms. The injunction prevents NSO from creating accounts, developing software, or collecting data from WhatsApp unless consent is granted.
