💨 Abstract

WhatsApp, Meta Platforms' popular chat service, has accused Israeli spyware company Paragon Solutions of targeting scores of its users, including journalists and members of civil society. The hack reportedly affected approximately 90 users across more than two dozen countries, with victims receiving malicious electronic documents requiring no user interaction for compromise. WhatsApp has sent Paragon a cease-and-desist letter and is referring affected users to the Canadian internet watchdog group Citizen Lab.
