] Despite this a London Court judge last week granted an
] injunction preventing experts in the case (including the
] Cambridge security researchers) discussing anything
] likely to become testimony in the trial. Citibanks'
] petition can be found here.
]
] A counterargument by Anderson arguing that the
] injunction, while appropriate for the bank experts
] involved, contravened academic freedoms and was bad for
] security was rejected, the Sunday Times reported
] yesterday. Citibank's court victory is yet to be recorded
] elsewhere, at least as far as we can see.
