That lawsuit was filed by NSO group, the spyware maker behind Pegasus.

I would have been surprised if they hadn't done it. No company that wants to survive can afford to have any scruples.

"They gave us their private keys so there can be no expectation..."

@draken @newsguyusa Do you have something you can point to confirm that claim?

[draken@masto.nyc]

@starluna @newsguyusa
It's literally in the text of the suit.

@newsguyusa Not a suprise, the user's private key is stored in the cloud.

@draken @newsguyusa I think you need to reread the text. There are references to NSO group as part of the rationale underlying the risks for the plaintiffs. There's nothing in the text of the documents that state the NSO group is funding this lawsuit.
