Meta files a lawsuit against its ex-VP of Indian descent for document theft, alleging him of industrial spying
Meta is alleging that its former Infrastructure Vice President, Dipinder Singh Khurana, stole confidential and sensitive documents prior to his departure to a covert AI cloud computing startup. Khurana had been with Meta for 12 years.
Meta, Facebook's parent corporation, has launched a lawsuit against its ex-Vice President of Infrastructure, Dipinder Singh Khurana, also recognized as T S Khurana. The lawsuit accuses him of illicitly taking secret documents before he became part of a clandestine AI cloud computing startup.
According to a Bloomberg report, the legal action was initiated on February 29 in a Californian state court, accusing Khurana of violating his agreement and indulging in unfaithful behavior.
The legal action states that Khurana, a 12-year veteran at Meta, transferred a set of exclusive, delicate, and private documents pertaining to Meta's business activities and staff to his private Google Drive and Dropbox accounts just prior to leaving the firm. Allegedly, these documents contain information on staff remuneration and performance, along with undisclosed business contracts.
Meta claims that a minimum of eight staff members, who were referred to in the documents uploaded by Khurana, later resigned from the company to become part of Khurana's new venture. The legal action depicts Khurana's behaviour during his exit from Meta and subsequent actions as demonstrating a total lack of respect for his contract and legal obligations.
A representative from Meta underscored in a media release the company's dedication to preserving its private data. They stressed that Meta treats such grave misbehavior with gravity and will persist in shielding its business and staff information.
This litigation is just a component of a larger movement where well-established tech firms are resorting to legal measures to safeguard their proprietary rights. Not long ago, an engineer from Google was charged for purportedly pilfering numerous classified documents that held AI proprietary information from the firm.
The lawsuit started by Meta highlights the intense rivalry and huge risks involved in the tech industry, especially in areas like AI and cloud computing. With Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally participating in this legal fight, it's anticipated that this case will attract a lot of interest as it moves forward in the judicial process.
The result of this legal conflict could greatly impact both Meta and Khurana's fresh initiative, underlining the necessity of protecting intellectual property and respecting contract terms in the intensely competitive tech industry.
