Apple Halts Spyware Lawsuit to Protect Sensitive Security Operations
In a surprising move, Apple has filed a motion to drop its high-profile lawsuit against NSO Group, the Israeli developer of Pegasus spyware. The lawsuit, originally filed in November 2021, aimed to curb NSO Group’s alleged misuse of its Pegasus spyware on Apple devices. However, citing security concerns related to its own cyber defense capabilities, Apple has chosen to withdraw from the legal battle.
