The tech giant is taking legal action against an Israeli spyware firm and pledging at least $10m to cybersurveillance research. Apple is suing the tech group behind the Pegasus spyware in a bid to “hold it accountable for the surveillance and targeting of Apple users”. The iPhone maker yesterday (23 November) filed a lawsuit against NSO Group and its parent company in a California court, alleging that the group illegally targeted Apple devices with its Pegasus software. Apple now is seeking a permanent injunction to ban the group from using any Apple software, services or devices.
