Meta detected and blocked spear-phishing activity tied to NSO Group that attempted to lure WhatsApp users to malicious external sites and created test accounts/groups; Meta removed the accounts, published malicious domains (fr24cast.com, ghazacast.com, ikhwancast.com), and is filing a federal contempt motion for violating an injunction that barred targeting WhatsApp users. The report references NSO's past use of Pegasus spyware against over 1,400 individuals and recommends enabling strict account settings to reduce risk.
