Yahoo is appealing to the U.S. director of national intelligence to declassify an order that allegedly required the company to install secret spying software that scanned incoming email accounts for specific content. The company complied with the classified order, although the spying code was removed earlier this year after Yahoo’s security team suspected hackers had planted it.

Yahoo has contested media coverage but has not provided more information, presumably because it legally can’t.”]
