Tech giants including Microsoft and Google on Monday joined Facebook s legal battle against hacking company NSO, filing an amicus brief in federal court that warned that the Israeli firm s tools were powerful, and dangerous.
The brief, filed before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, opens up a new front in Facebook s lawsuit against NSO, which it filed last year after it was revealed that the cyber surveillance firm had exploited a bug in Facebook-owned instant messaging program WhatsApp to help surveil more than 1,400 people worldwide.
