Apple has blocked all access to the email account of plaintiff Keyvan Samini, Mobix Labs president-chief financial officer, who twice sought a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction last month to enjoin Apple from restoring external access to his iCloud email account, said a Monday stipulation (8:24-cv-00249) filed by both parties in U.S. District Court for Central California in Santa Ana. Suspending unauthorized access to the account, which was hacked Jan. 30 by John Doe bad actors from Uzbekistan, was “of tantamount importance” to Samini and Mobix, a components supplier for the Navy’s Tomahawk missile program, said Samini’s ex parte application last week (see 2402270049) for a TRO and preliminary injunction. Samini agreed to dismiss his action against Apple after the parties agreed to appropriate relief, said the stipulation. The company provided Samini its standard consent form, authorizing the creation of a copy of the data in his email account and its alias, and accordingly provided Samini and his counsel the information and credentials necessary to access the copy of his email account’s data, it said. Samini has within 10 days of the entry of the order to confirm to Apple that he has obtained and copied the data as required; Apple will then permanently delete the email account, it said. Within 10 days of the entry of the order, Apple will provide Samini a log of the IP addresses that have accessed the email account from Jan. 25 to Feb. 15, it said. By March 15, Samini will dismiss Apple without prejudice on completion of the events described in the stipulation, it said. If the events have not been completed, and a notice of voluntary dismissal not submitted by March 14, the parties will file a status report March 15, explaining the delay, it said. Neither Samini nor Apple will be entitled to its fees or costs, it said.
