Apple settled the lawsuit with former employee Cyman Lancaster. In 2021, the company sued him, accusing him of stealing confidential information and sharing it with the media.
As part of an international agreement, Lancasterite pays compensation to Apple. Its amount has not been disclosed. In addition, the visiting employee prohibited “disclosing, reporting, transmitting, discussing, or any other information in any form without an express copy of Apple’s written permission.”
Lancaster worked at Apple for more than ten years. He was a materials specialist and design architect. In particular, he was involved in the development of the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar.
In November 2018, he began leaking classified data about the company’s activities, which revealed details of lost products and expected results. In November 2019, Lancaster resigned from Apple, having previously kept secret documents. [The Verge]
