繼去年年中一名 Apple 員工因為從自動駕駛研發中心，盜竊機密電路板、電腦伺服器和下載技術手冊到妻子的電腦被捕後，日前又爆出另一單類似的案件。美國 NBC 報導指 FBI 指控一名在 Apple 工作的中國籍工程師 Jizhong Chen，嘗試偷取 Apple 自動駕駛項目的商業機密資料。

上機前 FBI 出手拉人！中國員工又偷 Apple 機密

報導指有員工向 Apple 舉報，表示這名中國工程師在敏感的工作區域拍照，於是展開調查。Apple 的全球保安部門職員搜尋該工程師的私人電腦，發現內有過千個載有 Apple 知識產權的檔案文件，包括手冊、佈局圖和圖表等，另外還找到過百張在 Apple 大樓內拍攝的照片。其中一張由 Apple 交予 FBI，在 Chen 姓工程師電腦找到的照片，清楚顯示 Apple 設計的自動駕駛汽車線束繪圖。

Apple 發現這名工程師除了偷竊公司的機密資料，甚至還向 Apple 的競爭對手，一間中國的自動駕駛汽車公司求職。在這名工程師準備飛往大陸前一天，FBI 出手將之拘捕。這已經是半年內第二宗，涉及中國工程師盜竊 Apple 自動駕駛項目機密的案件，去年 7 月被拘捕的 Xiaolang Zhang 被指偷取機密資料並嘗試交予大陸公司 XMotors。

Another Apple Engineer Accused of Stealing Autonomous Vehicle Trade Secrets
For the second time in six months, an Apple engineer is accused of stealing intellectual property in order to benefit a China-based competitor

For the second time in six months, the FBI is accusing a Chinese national working for Apple of attempting to steal trade secrets related to the company’s secret autonomous vehicle program, NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit learned Tuesday.

Apple began investigating Jizhong Chen when another employee reported seeing the engineer taking photographs in a sensitive work space, according to a federal criminal complaint unsealed this week.

Chen, according to the complaint, allowed Apple Global Security employees to search his personal computer, where they found thousands of files containing Apple’s intellectual property, including manuals, schematics, and diagrams. Security personnel also found on the computer about a hundred photographs taken inside an Apple building.

Apple learned Chen recently applied for a job at a China-based autonomous vehicle company that is a direct competitor of Apple’s project, according to the complaint. A photo found on Chen’s computer, which Apple provided to the FBI, showed an assembly drawing of an Apple-designed wiring harness for an autonomous vehicle.

Chen was arrested just one day before he was scheduled to fly to China, according to the complaint.

Last July, former Apple employee Xiaolang Zhang was arrested by federal agents for allegedly stealing proprietary information related to the company’s autonomous vehicle project. Zhang was accused of trying to bring Apple’s trade secrets to China-based XMotors.

"Apple takes confidentiality and the protection of our IP very seriously," the company said in a statement Tuesday. "We are working with authorities on this matter and are referring all questions to the FBI."

The FBI declined to comment on the story.

Last week, CNBC reported that Apple dismissed more than 200 employees from its secretive autonomus vehicle group, Project Titan.

NBC Bay Area will update the story as it learns more.
