WhatsApp says it disrupted a new spyware-related campaign linked to NSO Group that used spear-phishing to push victims to malicious external domains (fr24cast.com, ghazacast.com, ikhwancast.com), removed test accounts/groups on its platform, and asked a US court to hold NSO in contempt of a prior injunction; the activity did not rely on a WhatsApp zero-day and highlights ongoing risks from mercenary spyware.
