Techdirt founder Mike Masnick says that, beyond defeating the censorship of the Appin Technology story, he hopes their public response to that censorship effort will ultimately bring even more attention to the group's past.
Neither Appin Training Centers nor Rajat Khare responded to WIRED's request for comment, nor did Reuters.
The fight to expose the original Appin Technology's alleged hacking history began to reach a head in November of 2022, when the Association for Appin Training Centers sued Reuters based only on its reporters' unsolicited messages to Appin Training Centers' employees and students.
That ruling has preceded any legal arguments over the truth of Reuters' reporting, which the news agency has promised to bring up in an appeal.
Reuters wrote that it based its story on interviews with dozens of Appin Technology's former staff and hundreds of alleged targets, as well as thousands of its internal documents.
Appin Training Centers, for its part, argues that it's merely a collection of educational institutions whose brand has been tarnished by Reuters' reporting.
