Former employees of AMD (incl. consoles head) accused of corporate espionage (extremetech.com)

I'm usually skeptical of these sorts of allegations, figuring this is just one company taking a jab at another who has been poaching talent.

But then I got to this part:

"Desai and Kociuk discussed how to eliminate evidence of transfer from their AMD systems. The named defendants ran Google searches for how to copy and delete large numbers of documents. Over 150,000 documents related to AMD desktop and laptop design were transferred before Kociuk turned in his resignation to AMD."

That's a lot of documents to be moving around before you jump ship. And some suspicious Google queries. And if there's hard evidence of the alleged conversation between these guys, things aren't looking too good for them.


If there is one thing that can be learned from this...

Use DuckDuckGo.


It's a pretty crazy mistake to make!
