Former Apple Engineer Allegedly Steals Files After Joining OpenAI
A lawsuit claim spreading on X says a departing Apple engineer kept a company laptop, accessed internal systems, and copied confidential hardware files after joining OpenAI.
A lawsuit claim spreading on X centers on a former Apple engineer, identified in a source post by @ns123abc as Chang Liu, who allegedly kept an Apple laptop after leaving in January 2026, used it to access Apple's internal systems, and copied confidential hardware files after joining OpenAI. The post says Liu had worked on the iPhone for eight years and that Apple is now suing over the alleged access. Quote-posts from Gergely Orosz and François Fleuret helped push the claim wider.
