Facebook is suing an Israeli cybersecurity company over claims it hacked WhatsApp users earlier this year.

Jaap Arriens | NurPhoto | Getty ImagesIn thefiled Tuesday, Facebook alleges that NSO Group used WhatsApp servers to spread malware to 1,400 mobile phones in an attempt to target journalists, diplomats, human rights activists, senior government officials and other parties. The lawsuit says the malware was unable to break the Facebook-owned app's encryption, and instead infected customers' phones, giving NSO access to messages after they were decrypted on the receiver's device.

Representatives from Facebook weren't immediately available for comment. NSO Group could not immediately be reached for comment. Facebook also names Q Cyber, a company affiliated with NSO, as a second defendant in the case.
