Saudi human rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul has filed a lawsuit against spyware maker DarkMatter Group and three former US intelligence operatives for their role in helping the United Arab Emirates hack into her iPhone and track her movements. 

al-Hathloul is one of several people the DarkMatter Group hacked, and three executives at the firm — 49-year-old Marc Baier, 34-year-old Ryan Adams and 40-year-old Daniel Gericke — were fined by the Justice Department in September for their role in helping oppressive governments like the UAE violate several US laws.
