WhatsApp: Huawei is no security threat, it’s Israeli surveillance company that violated American law

Sworn enemy of Net Neutrality Ajit Pai the rabid dog is barking at the wrong tree again.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai announced Monday that the agency, in an upcoming vote on Nov. 19, will likely ban all US carriers from using federal subsidies to purchase 5G equipment from Chinese companies.
“The concern is that hostile foreign actors could use hidden ‘backdoors’ to our networks to spy on us, steal from us, harm us with malware and viruses, or otherwise exploit our networks,” Pai said on Monday. “And there are mounting reasons to believe that the Chinese firms Huawei and ZTE pose an unacceptable risk to US national security.”

China Blasts Trump Admin For “Economic Bullying Behavior” Over 5G Equipment Ban

China is absolutely right. Because Huawei is a good boy. The bad guy has always been Trump’s BFF – Israel.
Who says so? Facebook’s WhatsApp.

WhatsApp Sues Israeli Firm, Accuses It of Hacking Activists’ Phones

Facebook and its WhatsApp messenger division on Tuesday sued Israel-based spyware maker NSO Group saying it used an exploit in the programme targeting attorneys, journalists, activists, dissidents, and others.

WhatsApp has said NSO Group, an Israeli surveillance company, was responsible for a series of highly sophisticated cyber-attacks that it claims violated American law in an “unmistakeable pattern of abuse” believing that technology sold by NSO was used to target the mobile phones of more than 1,400 of its users in 20 different countries during a 14-day period from the end of April to the middle of May. The victims include human rights defenders and lawyers, prominent religious figures, well-known journalists, and officials in humanitarian organisations.
WhatsApp’s lawsuit, filed in a California court on Tuesday, has demanded a permanent injunction blocking NSO from attempting to access WhatsApp computer systems and those of its parent company, Facebook. The lawsuit also asked the court to rule that NSO violated US federal law and California state law against computer fraud, breached their contracts with WhatsApp and “wrongfully trespassed” on Facebook’s property.
“This is the first time that an encrypted messaging provider is taking legal action against a private entity that has carried out this type of attack against its users”, said a WhatsApp spokesman. “In our complaint, we explain how NSO carried out this attack, including acknowledgement from an NSO employee that our steps to remediate the attack were effective”.
WhatsApp said it had worked with Citizen Lab, an academic research group based at the University of Toronto’s Munk School, to identify the victims of the attacks and the technology used against them, detecting that they were activists at a human rights protection society.
“The commercial spyware industry is one that has tried to carve out an unaccountable space for itself, cozying up to the governments that it sells stuff to while simultaneously denying any responsibility for abuses conducted with its tools”, John Scott-Railton, a Citizen Lab senior researcher, told ArsTechnica. “WhatsApp’s lawsuit, which is important and precedent-setting, shatters that false distinction and makes it clear that they are willing to hold NSO accountable for the Wild West that exists in the spyware industry generally and is reflected in the target set”.
NSO dismissed the allegations writing in a statement that the purpose of NSO is to provide technology to licensed government intelligence and law enforcement agencies to help them fight terrorism and serious crime.

Ah… Terrorism.
We hear you… Human rights defenders and lawyers, prominent religious figures, well-known journalists, and officials in humanitarian organisations are TERRORISTS. And as such

We must dispatch President Trump to kill the terrorists with his military dogs that allegedly killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
