Laid-off Intel employee allegedly steals 'Top Secret' files, then disappears — ex-engineer downloaded 18,000 files before vanishing
Good for them! I hope they won’t get caught.
More people should rebel and hurt the companies like this. They’re laying people off not because there isn’t work, but because they don’t want to pay. All of the companies doing layoffs are also hiring, only they’ve created a market of desperation so they know they can give workers shitty deals.
Intel and all the other big corpos deserve this.
Everybody laid off needs to make new companies together as well. Good ones not on stock market that are unionized
There can be reverse situations (e.g. opportunistic individual delivering hard earned data from an honest company to American criminal groups) so its not black and white.
That being said "reap what you sow" can be a fair and just characterisation.
honest company
You have better odds finding Sasquatch and a unicorn than you do finding an honest publically traded company.
Oh, no! Someone is going to get what was world leading technology if it was 8 years ago this might be a problem.
Not sure what you are refering to.
According to The Mercury News, Jinfeng Luo, who started at Intel in 2014, received a termination notice last July 7th, ending his service with the company at the same month.
"cannot be located" lmao homie's on a tropical beach now, suckers
Dudes in China almost certainly
Good for him
tropical beaches with really good public transit and removedin noodles
Kind of seems like the files aren't that valuable if they're only trying to get $250k. Like that's a large amount of money for most people, but for a big company suing for its IP, that doesn't sound like that much tbh.
Intel inside outside.
Hopefully it'll be on the darkweb
How ho you detect someone stole files nowadays? Did they have them printed out on a bookshelf?
Every single access is logged on such systems, regardless what kind of file hosting you use.
An employee suddenly accessing tons of files, potentially in indexing order (meaning they're either clicking through every link, every folder, every file, or are using an automated tool that does exactly the same), now that's suspicious.
Combine that with logs from their terminal, which would usually contain things like downloads, file operations, as well as external storage connection/disconnection events, and you can basically get a near perfect map of what they stole and how.
They knew what they stored it on, so presumably they did it in a company computer, and that computer had logging software that the company got access to (whether it automatically sends it to them or just stores it locally until needed).
Someone downloading full datasets that would rarely happen in the regular course of work (unless there was special projec tor some sort).
Full leaks of IME architectures would definitely a 1 on the scoreboard against us and... uh, whoever in the late-2000s/early-2010s believed it to be priority to implement this great technology for everyone! AMD PSP next please.

You could say they were gathering intel.
Touche! Nice one!
