Intel has filed a lawsuit against Jinfeng Luo, a software developer accused of downloading thousands of classified documents shortly after his termination. Luo attempted to transfer files from his work laptop, but was initially blocked by security controls. He later succeeded in downloading about 18,000 files labeled as ‘Top Secret.’ The incident highlights vulnerabilities in corporate data protection protocols during workforce reductions.
The lawsuit seeks at least $250,000 in damages, as Intel attempts to prevent potential disclosure of the stolen information. Despite extensive efforts, the company has been unable to locate Luo, complicating the legal proceedings. The situation underscores increasing risks companies face regarding insider threats, especially during layoffs that affect many employees. With significant restructuring efforts underway, protecting sensitive corporate data becomes an urgent priority.
