In the months that followed the initial lawsuit, the NSO Group fought the legal case by arguing that it was merely providing software to its government contractors.<\/p>\n<p>With today&#8217;s amicus brief, the signatories want to show the judge they stand with FAcebook&#8217;s position on the matter of third-party-developed hacking tools.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\"

currently operating in a legal grey area, with no rules.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Burt, Microsoft&#8217;s Corporate Vice President of Customer Security &amp; Trust, says that the NSO Group is trying to establish a dangerous legal precedent in the Facebook case by &#8220;attempting to cloak itself in the legal immunity afforded [to] its government customers, which would shield it from accountability when its weapons inflict harm on innocent people and businesses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Burt, along with the other amicus brief signatories, argued that the creation, use, and management of hacking tools should be restricted to governments only, as governments are subject to international laws and diplomatic consequences for their actions that a company like the NSO Group is not.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We believe the NSO Group&#8217;s business model is dangerous and that such immunity would enable it and other PSOAs to continue their dangerous business without legal rules, responsibilities or repercussions,&#8221; Burt said.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the NSO Group did not return a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
