Apple Sues OpenAI Over Stolen Trade Secrets After Bug Exposed by Former Engineer

Apple has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that a former engineer exploited a rare bug to maintain access to confidential Apple servers for weeks after his termination. The engineer, Chang Liu, who worked on sensitive Apple product development for eight years, allegedly conspired with current employee Yu-Ting Peng to steal trade secrets as part of a plan to launch AI-powered devices rivaling the iPhone. Apple is seeking injunctions to prevent OpenAI from using the stolen information and demands steep penalties.
