Apple has seen numerous cases of intellectual property theft (IP theft) involving a number of Silicon Valley companies. Apple caught 27 individuals leaking/sharing internal information during 2017. Leaking Apples work undermines everyone at Apple and the years theyve invested in creating Apple products. In mid-April, Apple sent about an internal memo admonished employees to remember that their livelihood depends on the company being competitive and the intellectual property of the company protected. The memo also embraces the need for vigilance with social network engagement admonishing employees not to overshare information.”]
