“The FBI withdrew a national security letter targeting an Office 365 enterprise customer following Microsoft’s challenge to a provision of the letter gagging the company from informing the target, according to court documents unsealed Thursday. The existence of the legal tussle between the FBI and Microsoft was unsealed in court documents (PDF) Thursday. The name of the targeted Microsoft customer was blacked out in the records. The 2013 national security letter was not included in the documents. Still, the authorities managed to prevail anyway and scored the information directly from Microsoft’s customer, according to the record.”
