NSO Group admits cutting off 10 customers because they abused its Pegasus spyware, say unsealed court documents

Newly unsealed documents brought by a WhatsApp lawsuit shows NSO Group's spyware, Pegasus, was used to hack as many as "tens of thousands” of devices.

On Thursday, WhatsApp scored a legal victory by convincing a U.S. federal judge to publicly release three court documents that include new revelations about the inner workings of Pegasus, the spyware made by Israeli surveillance tech maker NSO Group.

The newly unsealed documents include information coming from depositions of NSO employees during the legal proceedings, internal company documents, as well as — ironically — WhatsApp messages exchanged between NSO employees, which WhatsApp obtained by sending subpoenas to NSO.
