WhatsApp neutralized a phishing campaign linked to NSO

Colleagues, I want to draw the cybersecurity community's attention: WhatsApp has neutralized a new phishing campaign linked to NSO.

What happened:
- Identified spear‑phishing: distribution of malicious links, creation of test accounts and groups.
- WhatsApp reports violation of a court injunction and has filed a contempt motion.
- Attacks resemble a previous campaign that led to Pegasus installations; affected users were notified.

Why it matters: the threat from commercial spyware tools persists.

Actions: notify affected users and strengthen defenses.

Which anti‑phishing practices do you consider effective?
