Apple filed a lawsuit against NSO Group accusing the Israeli technology firm of surveilling and targeting its users through its “Pegasus” software. Apple is also seeking a permanent injunction banning NSO Group from using its software, services or devices “to prevent further abuse and harm to its users.” The complaint alleges NSO Group’s FORCEDENTRY, “an exploit for a now-patched vulnerability,” was used to access users’ devices and install the Pegasus software, which Apple said was used to attack users “with dangerous malware and spyware.”
