The US judge who cut the amount NSO Group sould pay Meta for a scheme to spy on WhatsApp users also granted an injunction to stop the Israel-based spyware maker's tactics targeting users of the messaging service AFP A US judge on Friday granted an injunction barring Israeli spyware maker NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp users but slashed a $168 million damages award at trial to just $4 million. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton ruled that NSO Group's behavior fell short of a "particularly egregious" standard needed to support the jury's calculations on a financial penalty. But in the ruling, seen by AFP, she said the court "concluded that defendants' conduct causes irreparable harm, and there being no dispute that the conduct is ongoing" the judge granted WhatsApp owner Meta an injunction to stop NSO Group's snooping tactics at the messaging service.
