Israeli officials seized documents about Pegasus spyware from its manufacturer, NSO Group , in an effort to prevent the company from being able to comply with demands made by WhatsApp in a US court to hand over information.
Documents suggest the seizures were part of an unusual legal manoeuvre created by Israel to block the disclosure of information about Pegasus .
Pegasus allows NSO clients to infect smartphones with hidden software that can extract messages and photos, record calls and secretly activate microphones.
Leaked emails suggest that senior Israeli officials met NSO ’s representatives “to discuss issues related to disclosure” The company weighed asking the Israeli government for a blocking order’ that would prohibit the company from producing certain information to WhatsApp .
WhatsApp served its first discovery requests on NSO in early June 2020 when it demanded access to a wide range of detailed information.
