Video conferencing startup MeetingTV has filed a lawsuit against Koi Security, a security company under Palo Alto Networks. MeetingTV alleges Koi’s AI-generated threat report contained false information, The Register reported on July 2 local time.
According to the lawsuit, Koi Security said in a blog post on Dec. 30 last year that it had identified MeetingTV as core infrastructure for a Chinese cybercrime group. It said MeetingTV’s ZoomCoder product was linked to large-scale malware distribution and corporate espionage.
MeetingTV said Koi ran its in-house analysis platform, called Wings, to produce the report and that AI fabricated information that was not true in the process. MeetingTV said Koi released the AI analysis results as they were, without human review.
MeetingTV said Koi’s report led global security and service providers, including Verizon and Palo Alto Networks, to classify and block MeetingTV’s domain as malware.
MeetingTV founder and CEO Michael Robertson (마이클 로버트슨) said, “I first found out there was a report when security companies blocked our service,” and added, “Koi did not contact us either before or after publishing the report.” He added, “If your company service gets blocked on the internet, it is no different from a business death sentence,” and said, “Now even LLMs say we are linked to Chinese cybercriminals. How can this ever be erased?”
Robertson reiterated, “The browser extension ‘Twitter X Video Downloader,’ which Koi presented as key evidence in its report, is software that does not exist.”
