The company that made it easy for people to conduct discreet business while doing their business in the bathroom is suing one of its former engineers over his allegedly leaking confidential information and using his bathroom breaks to delete messaging apps that may have contained evidence.
Apple, maker of the go-everywhere-and-do-everything-with-it iPhone, is suing Andrew Aude, who worked as a software engineer at the Cupertino, California-based company’s iOS division, for allegedly using his company cell phone to send thousands of text messages to reporters from the Wall Street Journal over a five-year period, according to an article in the New York Post.
Apple alleges that the media leaks were designed to “kill” products and features “with which he took issue,” according to the lawsuit.
