Industrial Espionage

Interesting phrase: "... a lawsuit the company filed in 2018 to defend the rights of an undisclosed enterprise customer".

Hmmm. Does "Enterprise" in this context imply corporate? So that's not a terrorist suspect, it's someone conducting regular commercial business. Like for example NHS Business Services, who are an MS customer (evidence I'm aware of: their email is at outlook.com).

A US Government target for ... what kind of espionage?

Or of course it could be a Usual Suspect like Amnesty or Greenpeace (I've no idea if either of those is actually an MS customer) or a foreign government.
