NSO Group has been ordered to pay more than $167 million in damages to WhatsApp for a 2019 hacking campaign targeting over 1,400 users.
WhatsApp sought over $400,000 in compensatory damages for the time spent on remediating the attacks and investigating the security breach.
NSO Group's spokesperson indicated the possibility of appealing the ruling, stating they will examine the details for further legal action.
The legal battle, which began over five years ago, exposed details like victims' locations and NSO Group's customers, culminating in the recent jury ruling.
