The ruling strikes at NSO Group’s fundamental strategy in the case, one observer noted.

Dada et al v. NSO Group has been one of many cases where alleged spyware victims have run into jurisdictional hurdles.

The Pall Mall Process guidelines for nations could be useful, they said, but have obvious limitations.

The company linked to the campaign recently signed a deal with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The ruling is arguably the most important to date against the Israeli maker of the Pegasus spyware.

The comprehensive report showed how Serbian law enforcement combined Cellebrite’s tech with a novel Android-focused spyware program.

An investigation into the numbers has some caveats, but those behind it say even a drastic reduction from what they found would be big.

The filing also suggests that customers have a minimal role in operating the spyware, in an apparent contradiction of past NSO Group claims.

Some recent court rulings show the difficult road of anti-spyware litigation, but those in the fight also see signs of promise.

The leading maker of spyware offered somewhat different explanations about wanting to see Apple’s lawsuit disappear.
