"Spyware maker NSO Group will have to pay more than $167 million in damages to WhatsApp for a 2019 hacking campaign against more than 1,400 users.

On Tuesday, after a five-year legal battle, a jury ruled that NSO Group must pay $167,254,000 in punitive damages and around $444,719 in compensatory damages.

This is a huge legal win for WhatsApp, which had asked for more than $400,000 in compensatory damages, based on the time its employees had to dedicate to remediate the attacks, investigate them, and push fixes to patch the vulnerability abused by NSO Group, as well as unspecified punitive damages.

WhatsApp’s spokesperson Zade Alsawah said in a statement that “our court case has made history as the first victory against illegal spyware that threatens the safety and privacy of everyone.”"

TechCrunch · NSO Group must pay more than $167 million in damages to WhatsApp for spyware campaign | TechCrunchThe five-year legal battle between the Meta-owned company and the most notorious spyware maker in the world ends with a huge win for WhatsApp.

Israeli #spyware company #NSO Group was ordered by a U.S. federal court on Tuesday to pay #WhatsApp and its parent company #Meta €150 million in damages after its cyber tools were used to hack around 1,400 WhatsApp accounts.

Some of this is punitive damages, some compensatory damages that go to WhatsApp. I don't think those who have been spied upon will see any of that money, will they? :/
