Apple Moves to Dismiss Lawsuit Against NSO Group

Apple cites risks to its threat-intelligence program and challenges in obtaining critical files as reasons for dropping the case.

Apple filed a motion to dismiss its three-year-old lawsuit against NSO Group, a prominent spyware company.
The decision follows concerns over obtaining essential documents and the potential risk of exposing Apple's threat-intelligence strategies.
Israeli officials reportedly took files from NSO relevant to another lawsuit, raising doubts about Apple's ability to secure necessary evidence.
NSO Group, once a leading spyware vendor, has seen a decline in influence and faces multiple legal challenges, including from Meta's WhatsApp.
Apple has enhanced its security measures, including introducing 'Lockdown Mode,' which has been effective in preventing commercial spyware attacks.
