(Reuters) – An official with Meta’s popular WhatsApp chat service said the Israeli spyware company Paragon targeted scores of its users, including journalists and members of civil society.
The official said Friday that WhatsApp had sent Paragon a cease-and-desist letter following the hacking.
In a statement, WhatsApp said the company “will continue to protect peoples’ ability to communicate privately.”
