A former security chief of WhatsApp, Attaullah Baig, has filed a whistleblower lawsuit against Meta, alleging that the company failed to address significant cybersecurity flaws that jeopardized user data privacy. The lawsuit claims that around 1,500 engineers had unrestricted access to personal user information, violating a previous Federal Trade Commission order. Meta has denied the allegations presented in the lawsuit.

Elon Musk sought Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's assistance in financing a $97.4 billion takeover of OpenAI, as revealed in recent court filings related to Musk's legal battle with the company. Musk's motivation stemmed from his discontent with OpenAI's shift to a for-profit model, leading to a rift between him and OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman. OpenAI has countered Musk's claims, alleging harassment and harm to its business from Musk's actions.
