Apple reveals 'shocking evidence' from ex-employee's MacBook in OpenAI suit

Apple’s lawsuit alleges forensic analysis of former engineer Chang Liu’s MacBook revealed he downloaded a confidential Apple circuit schematic, ran LTspice simulations at OpenAI, and told a colleague to delete the files. The complaint says Liu accessed Apple’s third-party cloud storage without permission and used a tool named after an internal Apple app, prompting Apple to seek expedited discovery and access to Liu’s Mac mini.
