[Apple's Strictest Confidentiality Undermined by iCloud: Former Employees Still Receiving Confidential File Updates] According to monitoring by Beating, Apple often encourages employees to use personal Apple IDs to handle work files. After employees leave the company, most internal permissions are revoked, but data scattered across personal iCloud, iMessage, and unmanaged folders may still remain, and they might even continue to receive update notifications. Several former employees stated that they did not intentionally steal information but were still able to access Apple’s internal files years after leaving the company. This issue came to light after Apple filed a lawsuit against OpenAI. Apple accused two former employees of deliberately downloading or transferring unreleased product information, manufacturing processes, and supply chain data. OpenAI has denied the allegations. Apple emphasized that the lawsuit targets intentional theft and is unrelated to employees accidentally retaining iCloud files. [Original Link]
