Meta Blocks NSO Group Phishing on WhatsApp and Files Contempt Motion

Colleagues, please note: in cybersecurity, Meta has detected and blocked a new targeted NSO Group phishing campaign on WhatsApp.

- Detected: one‑click phishing via external links; creation of test accounts/groups; domains fr24cast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, ikhwancast[.]com.
- Meta response: account removals and filing of a contempt motion for violating the WhatsApp-targeting injunction.
- Recommendations: keep apps updated; report suspicious activity; when risk is elevated enable strict settings (2FA, disable message previews, limit profile visibility and incoming invitations).

Why it matters: these attacks are sophisticated and require both technical and legal countermeasures.

Which additional protective measures do you consider priorities?
