Fighting Spyware: An Update From WhatsApp – About Meta

Last year, WhatsApp made history by securing a landmark verdict and permanent injunction barring NSO Group — a spyware firm blacklisted for actions contrary to US national security — from targeting WhatsApp and its users ever again. The court was unequivocal: NSO violated the federal and state laws against hacking. Today, we’re asking the court to hold them in contempt of that order. Catching and Disrupting NSO’s Targeting Attempts We successfully disrupted NSO-linked social engineering attempts, after investigating user reports. They tried to trick people into clicking on malicious links to drive them to external websites outside of WhatsApp, similar to previously reported 1-click phishing campaigns linked to NSO. We also caught them creating test accounts and groups on WhatsApp, which we took down.  We are sharing threat indicators so that anyone can check if they were targeted by NSO-linked social engineering attempts across any platform — be it text message, email, WhatsApp message, or something else. Spyware Is a National Security Threat Since 2019, our case has shown that NSO continues to build spyware tools to target people’s devices.  » Read More

Judge’s First Take Favors Denims—But Will It Survive the Recut? | Copyright Lately

Tentative reactions to a tentative ruling: court’s draft order would hand Twitch streamer Denims a fair use win in Ethan Klein’s reaction-video lawsuit, but the analysis it skipped could matter later. There’s a tentative ruling out in Ted Entertainment v. Saber, and if it sticks, Ethan Klein will lose a fair use fight on the strength of the very reaction-video precedent he helped create as a defendant. Klein’s company, Ted Entertainment (TEI), sued Twitch streamer Denims last June over her four-hour livestream reaction to his Content Nuke documentary, calling it a watch party designed to siphon views from the original. In my coverage of Denims’ motion for judgment on the pleadings last month, I predicted Judge Wesley Hsu would deny her early fair use bid and send the case to discovery. Instead, his draft ruling, released ahead of last Friday’s hearing on the motion, found the stream fair use as a matter of law (read it here). Three of the four fair use factors broke for the defense. Judge Hsu heard forty minutes of attorney argument, then took the matter under submission. And while Denims’ corner of the internet is already measuring her for a crown, no final order has

Becerra Maintains Lead in CA Governor’s Primary – MyNewsLA.com

LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Democrat Xavier Becerra barely maintained his lead in the California governor’s race Saturday, with Republican Steve Hilton closing the gap, making it even more likely the pair is heading for a November runoff election. Figures released Saturday by the California Secretary of State’s office showed Becerra with 1,732,755 votes, or 26.8%, followed by Hilton with 1,704,820, or 26.4%. That is a gap of only 27,935 votes. Billionaire Tom Steyer remained in third place with 1,361,104 votes, or 21%. That means he added 59,981 votes but maintained his percentage. Some 3,055,949 ballots statewide are left to tally, according to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s website. Another 56,296 ballots still need to have signatures verified or minor mistakes corrected. The results are expected to be certified by July 10. “The people of the great state of California, in the greatest nation on Earth, have spoken — loudly and proudly,” Becerra said in a statement Friday. “We will not be bought. We will not be bullied. And we are never backing down. November, here we come.” The race to succeed termed-out Gov. Gavin Newsom has been a lively one, but the campaign in recent days appeared to boil

Business Insider’s Post For most of her 20s, Ashley Rivera Mercado chased one goal: breaking into tech. She wanted to build products that shaped how people lived and learned. She said she craved a fast pace, big challenges, and proof that someone like her could succeed in an industry known for closing doors on outsiders. When she finally landed the tech role she'd been working toward, it felt like vindication. She said she was proud, relieved, and confident that all the struggle had been worth it. What she didn't see was that she was stepping into her dream job at the exact moment her life was already collapsing under its own weight, she said. She also didn't realize she was clinging to an outdated idea of what a career should look like.
