Wait... is it CFAA? That would be... an interesting door to open!
Found the complaint, yep!
> Plaintiffs bring this action for injunctive relief and damages pursuant to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030, and the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, California Penal Code § 502, and for breach of contract and trespass to chattels.
I like the idea of using the CFAA like this, of that becoming a thing.
Had to find the complaint cause none of the articles I could find on it mentioned the CFAA, which is weird since that's news.
Civil CFAA (unauthorized access to WhatsApp infrastructure, including their relay servers, to target WhatsApp users), California's Computer Data Access & Fraud act (same, but CCDAF also has kickers like specific liability for spreading malware), breach (WhatsApp has a EULA), and trespass to chattels.
(sorry, wrote this before you fleshed out your comment, but presumably it's helpful to someone else)
