EFF Challenges 'Legal Bullying' of Sites Reporting on Alleged Appin 'Hacking-for-Hire' - Slashdot

Reuters investigation, published in November , was based in part on marketing materials, detailing a range of "hacking for hire" services Appin provided.

After publication, Reuters was targeted by a legal campaign to shut down critical reporting.

MuckRock is sharing more details on this effort while continuing to host materials the Association of Appin Training Centers has gone to great lengths to remove from the web.

EFF : "A campaign of bullying and censorship seeking to wipe out stories about the mercenary hacking campaigns of a less well-known company, Appin Technology , in general, and the company's cofounder, Rajat Khare , in particular" More than 20 stories have been taken down by their respective publications, many at the request of an entity called " Association of Appin Training Centers ".
