Apple has filed a lawsuit against a former senior engineer named Di Liu, accusing him of stealing confidential company data related to its Vision Pro headset before joining Snap Inc.
Di Liu allegedly downloaded sensitive documents during his notice period at Apple. He held a significant role in the Vision Pro project as a system product design engineer.
Apple claims Liu transferred proprietary files to his personal cloud account using his active employee credentials without disclosing his move to Snap, an Apple competitor in the AR space.
The lawsuit alleges that Liu accessed secure systems during his offboarding period and extracted documents containing sensitive hardware designs and technology blueprints.
