"The complaint does not contain sufficient facts to show that the plaintiff reported violations of SEC rules or regulations, Judge Laurel Beeler wrote in the dismissal on March 19."
"Baig alleged that his concerns were ignored as hackers took over more than 100,000 accounts a day and that thousands of employees had access to sensitive user data."
"This ruling reaffirms what we've said all along: These claims have no merit, said Andy Stone, a spokesman for Meta."
"The judge made no finding whatsoever on the factuality of Baig's claims, said Jen from Psst.org."
Attaullah Baig, former chief of security at WhatsApp, had his lawsuit dismissed by a US District Court due to insufficient evidence. Baig alleged he was terminated for raising security concerns about Meta's chat app, claiming violations of SEC whistleblower protections. The court found the complaint lacked sufficient facts to support Baig's claims. Meta's spokesperson stated the claims have no merit, emphasizing their commitment to user privacy and security. Baig's representatives plan to refile the lawsuit, arguing the dismissal was based on technical grounds rather than the factual basis of the claims.
