WhatsApp, which prides itself on its encrypted messaging capabilities, has filed a complaint in a California court accusing spyware company NSO Group and its parent company Q Cyber Technologies of targeting at least 1,400 users across the world.
WhatsApp claims it detected the attack in May 2019 and found that NSO exploited a “buffer overflow vulnerability in WhatsApp VOIP stack” to send its Pegasus malware to the target devices, even without the users answering the calls they received.
In an article in The Washington Post, WhatsApp head Will Cathcart claimed they can link the attack to NSO because the “attackers used servers and Internet-hosting services that were previously associated with NSO” and they “tied certain WhatsApp accounts used during the attacks back to NSO”. “While their attack was highly sophisticated, their attempts to cover their tracks were not entirely successful,” he wrote in the October 30 opinion piece.
