Meta is suing NSO Group, basically claiming<\/a> that the latter hacks WhatsApp and not just WhatsApp users. We have a procedural ruling:<\/p>\n

\n

Under the order<\/a>, NSO Group is prohibited from presenting evidence about its customers\u2019 identities, implying the targeted WhatsApp users are suspected or actual criminals, or alleging that WhatsApp had insufficient security protections.<\/p>\n

[\u2026]<\/p>\n

In making her ruling, Northern District of California Judge Phyllis Hamilton said NSO Group undercut its arguments to use evidence about its customers with contradictory statements.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefendants cannot claim, on the one hand, that its intent is to help its clients fight terrorism and child exploitation, and on the other hand say that it has nothing to do with what its client does with the technology, other than advice and support,\u201d she wrote. \u201cAdditionally, there is no evidence as to the specific kinds of crimes or security threats that its clients actually investigate and none with respect to the attacks at issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I have written about<\/a> the issues at play in this case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
