Title: New Spying Claims Emerge in Silicon Valley Corporate Espionage Scandal

Link: https://yro.slashdot.org/story/25/06/05/06582...

A bitter fight over alleged corporate espionage involving two of Silicon
Valley's hottest startups took a new twist on Tuesday, after $12 billion HR
software company Deel claimed arch-rival Rippling had directed one of its
employees to "pilfer" the company's assets by posing as a customer. From a
report: The latest claim comes after Rippling alleged earlier this year that
a staff member had been spying on behalf of Deel. The employee locked
themselves into a bathroom and smashed their phone with an axe when
confronted with allegations, according to their own testimony. In new legal
filings seen by the Financial Times, Deel has countered by arguing that:
"Rippling has been actively engaged in a carefully co-ordinated espionage
campaign, through which it infiltrated Deel's customer platform by fraudulent
means and pilfered the company's most valuable proprietary assets."
