The 4th U.S. Circuit Appeals Court assigned case number 23-2241 to plaintiff Hanan Elatr Khashoggi’s appeal of the district court’s Oct. 26 dismissal of her complaint against NSO Group Technologies and Q Cyber Technologies for lack of personal jurisdiction (see 2311220024), said a docket notice Thursday. Khashoggi’s seven-count complaint alleged NSO and Q Cyber infiltrated her phones with spyware that the Saudi and United Arab Emirates governments used to track the movements of her husband, Saudi journalist and human rights activist Jamal Khashoggi, before his October 2018 murder at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
