In a recent development in the Pegasus and the NSO Group’s WhatsApp spyware tale, India’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) revealed on Wednesday (November 6) that it had published an advisory on the malware attack on the app’s users, three days before the Facebook-owned platform first alerted the Indian government. CERT-In said that it picked up the threat by using internal tools deployed to check vulnerabilities.
