The exploit used in the attack was a zero-day in the WhatsApp VoIP feature.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook sued NSO last year for developing the exploit and making it available to its customers (foreign governments), who then used it to hack WhatsApp users.<\/p>\n<p>This included more than 1,400 users, according to Facebook count, and included the likes of attorneys, journalists, human rights activists, political dissidents, diplomats, and government officials.<\/p>\n<p>The exploit had the ability to infect a phone with the Pegasus malware, which then pinged NSO command and control servers for instructions on what commands to execute and what data to steal.<\/p>\n<h3>Hundreds of attacks linked to one US server<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I have reviewed the malicious code sent during the attack described in the Complaint,&#8221; said Claudiu Gheorghe, a software engineering manager for WhatsApp in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/6876795-Claudiu-Gheorghe-statment-in-NSO-WhatsApp-lawsuit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">court documents<\/a> filed by Facebook&#8217;s legal team last night.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>&#8220;That malicious code was designed to cause a WhatsApp user&#8217;s mobile device to connect to a remote server not associated with WhatsApp. The IP address of the remote server was included in the malicious code,&#8221; Gheorghe said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In 720 instances of the attack, the remote server&#8217;s IP address was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virustotal.com\/gui\/ip-address\/104.223.76.220\/relations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">104.223.76.220<\/a>. In 3 instances of the attack, the remote server&#8217;s IP address was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virustotal.com\/gui\/ip-address\/54.93.81.200\/detection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">54.93.81.200<\/a>,&#8221; Gheorghe added.<\/p>\n<p>The first of these IPs, and the one most commonly observed by WhatsApp engineers, belongs to QuadraNet Enterprises LLC, a Los Angeles-based data center provider.<\/p>\n<p>The small detail to what IP address a hacked WhatsApp user has communicated is now crucial in the case after earlier this month, the NSO Group legal team filed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/6876800-NSO-Motion-to-Dismiss.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">a motion to dismiss<\/a> the case, citing a long list of reasons, including the lack of jurisdiction of a California court to preside over the case.<\/p>\n<p>But Facebook&#8217;s legal team says this argument is faulty as NSO has been taking financing from a California private equity firm, and has been relying on servers located in the state.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To execute its scheme and install its spyware on WhatsApp users&#8217; devices, NSO separately entered into a contract with a California-based technology company, QuadraNet, that included a California choice-of-law clause,&#8221; Facebook said, claiming that its lawsuit needs to allow to continue.<\/p>\n<h3>Facebook NSO is not immune because it sells to governments<\/h3>\n<p>In its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/6876799-Facebook-Counter-Motion.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">35-page document<\/a>, Facebook also brought counter-arguments to all the items raised by NSO&#8217;s motion to dismiss the case earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>While most of the document is legalese sword-fighting between oppossing and expensive legal teams, there is also another interesting item raised by both teams.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the NSO legal team argued that the company should be immune to prosecution because it was contracted by a foreign government.<\/p>\n<p>In its counter-argument, Facebook claimed that NSO has not produced evidence, such as a contract, that it worked for any foreign government, nor that there is any law that grants immunity to contractors acting on behalf of a government.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook said last year, and reiterated again yesterday, that the hacks caused reputational damage to its WhatsApp product and it now wants to hold NSO responsible and liable for damages.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement last year, NSO told ZDNet that its product had been designed to help law enforcement and intelligence services fight terrorism and serious crime.<\/p>\n<p>An NSO spokesperson did not return a request for comment on Facebook&#8217;s counter-motion.<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
