Meta, the owner of WhatsApp, accused the spyware maker NSO Group of breaking a court order that stops NSO from targeting WhatsApp users. Meta said it discovered NSO trying to trick users with phishing attacks and is asking the court to hold NSO in contempt for this violation.
Key Facts
NSO Group is an Israeli company that created Pegasus spyware, used to spy on people’s phones.
The US government put NSO on a blacklist in 2021 because it supplied spyware to foreign governments for spying on officials and others.
WhatsApp won a court injunction in 2023 that stopped NSO from targeting its users and was awarded damages.
A judge lowered the damages but kept the injunction, which NSO is trying to overturn in court.
Meta caught NSO trying to trick users with phishing attacks by sending malicious links through WhatsApp.
Meta said NSO made fake WhatsApp accounts and groups, which Meta removed.
NSO’s spyware can take full control of a phone, accessing messages, calls, location, and more, even if data is encrypted.
The Knight First Amendment Institute supports keeping restrictions on NSO due to the threat spyware poses to freedom of expression and press.

NASA’s Artemis II astronauts traveled faster than almost anyone in history, reaching nearly 24,664 mph during their return from a Moon flyby. To honor this speed, NASA created a new "Mach 39" patch representing their record velocity, replacing the older "Mach 25" design used for space shuttle crews.
Key Facts
Artemis II crew included Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen.
They flew 52,756 miles away from Earth, farther than any humans have traveled before.
Their spacecraft, Orion Integrity, reentered Earth’s atmosphere at about 24,664 mph (Mach 39).
Only three astronauts from Apollo 10 reached a slightly higher speed of 24,791 mph in 1969.
Mach speed measures how fast something travels compared to the speed of sound, and it changes with altitude and air conditions.
The new “Mach 39” patch was created and worn by the Artemis II crew, succeeding the old “Mach 25” patch originally designed for the space shuttle era.
The “Mach 25” patch idea came from former astronauts Dan Brandenstein and Jim Buchli, inspired by military pilot patches for breaking speed records.
The patch was produced by A-B Emblem in North Carolina and debuted publicly in early June 2024.
