Corporate Espionage

Three Silicon Valley engineers are indicted for stealing trade secrets from Google and other tech firms, allegedly sending sensitive data to Iran. The group, including a Google employee and her husband, faces charges of conspiracy, theft, and obstruction. Authorities detail a sophisticated scheme using third-party channels and even photographing screens to exfiltrate data, which continued after one suspect’s access was revoked. Convictions could lead to lengthy prison sentences and hefty fines.
