The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 doesn't apply to NSO because fuck logic.
If you are NSO, you can openly commit computer fraud/abuse and even sell it as a product/service.

Is NSO affiliated with The Israel Lobby? That may explain it.

The US could say “tighten controls on your defense contractors or lose our support” and then do that if they don’t listen. That’ll never happen though. I’m sure plenty of TLAs use NSO software.
