Tesla sues former employee for stealing and disclosing internal company data

Ddos June 21, 2018 2 minutes read

According to lawsuits filed by the Federal Court of the United States of Nevada, Tesla sued a former employee, claiming that he stole the company’s trade secrets and disclosed a significant amount of internal data to third parties. According to litigation documents, Tesla sued Martin Tripp, a former process technician who worked at the Tesla Gigafactory Super Factory in Nevada.

 

The employee admitted that he had developed malicious software into Tesla’s internal production operating system, stole massive amounts of data and handed it to a third party, and also made false statements to the media. The leaked data includes dozens of intimate photographs and videos about Tesla’s manufacturing systems.

Tripp developed malicious software installed on the computers of three different employees, so after he left Tesla, he could continue to transfer data from the company to a third party. Employees whose machines have installed with this malware will also implicate.

In addition, Tripp also made false statements to the media. The lawsuit document wrote: Triple had said that defective battery packs used in some Tesla Model 3 models, but in fact did not. Tripp also exaggerated Tesla in the manufacturing process. The number of faulty items produced.

The litigation document wrote: After Tripp joined Tesla several months later, Tripp’s leaders considered his job performance to be weak and often clash with his colleagues. For these reasons, May 17, 2018, Before and after Tripp placed in a new position, Tripp expressed dissatisfaction.

Earlier this week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated in an e-mail addressed to employees that an employee had caused continuous, deliberate damage to the company’s operations. Musk wrote: All of his crimes are still unclear. As far as he has already recognized, the impact is terrible.
