Apple has filed a lawsuit against former engineer Chang Liu, accusing him of exploiting system vulnerabilities to access internal cloud storage and download confidential files, allegedly to benefit OpenAI’s hardware development. OpenAI released chat logs showing that Apple employees continued using Liu’s devices to transfer files and seek information after his departure. The logs reveal that Apple colleagues directly contacted Liu, stating he was the best person to consult despite no longer being employed. Apple also claims Liu abused another authentication flaw and that hardware head Tang Tan requested supplier details. OpenAI disputes certain aspects of the allegations. The case adds another twist to crypto news, as legal battles increasingly intersect with data security amid evolving inflation data in the tech and digital asset sectors.
ME AI message, according to monitoring by Beating, Apple has accused former engineer Chang Liu of exploiting system vulnerabilities after his departure to access the internal cloud storage and download dozens of confidential files to assist OpenAI in hardware development. OpenAI has now publicly released chat logs, claiming Apple concealed half the facts. The logs show that after Liu’s departure, his Apple colleagues continued using his work devices to transfer Apple files stored on them. Subsequently, these colleagues actively reached out to Liu to inquire about file locations and project details, even explicitly stating: “Although you’ve left, you’re still the best person to ask.” OpenAI uses this to counter that at least some of Liu’s access to Apple’s materials after his departure was initiated by Apple employees. Apple’s failure to fully sever Liu’s personal iCloud from work files also contributed to a chaotic offboarding process. However, these chat logs have not overturned the overall lawsuit. Apple also accuses Liu of exploiting authentication vulnerabilities to download additional files, and further accuses hardware lead Tang Tan of requesting supplier and product information. OpenAI has so far primarily refuted the claims related to Liu. (Source: MLion)
