On Friday, Apple memo to employees warning about the leak of internal documents … well, merged.
Bloomberg published an internal blog in full last week. The memo stated that Apple “employees, contractors or suppliers will not be caught, and they catch on faster than ever.”
In addition, the post says that “in some cases” defectors “face prison and heavy fines for network intrusion and theft of trade secrets of both groups, as a Federal crime.” He also noted that in 2017, “Apple has caught 29 of the leak, and 12 of them were arrested.”
“A leaked Apple undercuts Apple and years they invested in Apple products… leakage effects beyond the people who work on a specific project — it is felt throughout the company. Leaked information about a new product could negatively affect sales of the current model; to give competing companies more time to start on a competitive response; and to lead to a decrease in sales of this new product when it arrives,” the memo instructed.
Internal leaks are common in Silicon valley but was observed to increase in the Apple in particular. In February 2018, the code device from Apple has been posted on github. Technical characteristics of the iPhone x have also been recently leaked to the public, while in June 2012, the Executive T admitted leaking personal Apple information for investors.
