Meta's WhatsApp plans to seek a contempt order against NSO Group, alleging the Israeli spyware vendor has resumed using WhatsApp as a delivery vector to lure victims into installing Pegasus, in violation of a US court ruling issued last year that barred such conduct. The claim, reported by the Financial Times and New York Times, suggests NSO continues targeting operations despite ongoing litigation and prior sanctions against the company.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the actors and malware it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,445 reports from 149 sources, 666 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
