On December 20, the most significant legal decision to date regarding NSO’s conduct was handed down by Senior District Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton of the US District Court for the Northern District of California. Her judgment concerned WhatsApp’s legal suit filed in 2019 against the NSO Group, alleging that Pegasus had been installed on approximately 1,400 mobile phones and devices owned by journalists, activists and diplomats to conduct surveillance upon them. In so doing, WhatsApp alleged that NSO had breached both the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and California’s Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act. After five years, the case took an interesting turn with a move by WhatsApp to seek partial summary judgment."
