Apple Accuses Worker of Leaks

Posted by pudge on from the so-sad-and-yet-not-really-sad-at-all dept.

booboothefoo writes "A former Apple Computer contract worker in Sacramento has been slapped with both civil and criminal charges for allegedly leaking Apple's trade secrets on the Internet." I think the real message here is "don't trust contractors." Or maybe "rumor sites are evil." Or maybe "Setec Astronomy."

  1. Apple... you disgust me. by PunchMonkey · · Score: 1, Troll

    I for one find this extremely disgusting. I understand that businesses need to protect their trade secrets, but I think this crosses the line.

    From the article:

    Gutierrez agreed to settle the suit by turning over any confidential information he retained

    I can already envision the appointed neural surgeon scooping out the little bit of grey that retains Gutierrez's memory of Apple.
