An incredible quote: "Defendants subsequently complained that WhatsApp had closed the vulnerability. Specifically, NSO Employee 1 stated, “You just closed our biggest remote for cellular ... It’s on the news all over the world.”"



Holy fuck these people


Won't someone think of the malware company? How are they suppposed to sell their services to oppressive governments if WhatsApp keeps patching all the vulnerabilities they depend on?


irony is always lost when one massive surveillance company takes the bread away from a massive surveillance government agency.


What are you quoting? That sentence doesn't appear in the article.


They're quoting the actual civil complaint.


Someone posted the .pdf above, it's in there.


Source?



Specifically page 10. Still wondering where the original quote came from. Who was this person talking to? Presumably "you" refers to FB, but what was the situation that an NSO employee was complaining to FB?
