Reuters temporarily removes article on Indian startup

Reuters has temporarily removed the article “How an Indian startup hacked the world” that it published last month.

An editor’s note on its website states that the removal was “to comply with a preliminary court order issued on Dec. 4, 2023, in a district court in New Delhi, India.

“Reuters stands by its reporting and plans to appeal the decision.

“The article, published Nov. 16, 2023, was based on interviews with hundreds of people, thousands of documents, and research from several cybersecurity firms.

“The order was issued amid a pending lawsuit brought against Reuters in November 2022. As set forth in its court filings, Reuters disputes those claims.”
