Epic Games has reached a proposed settlement with a former contractor who it accused in March of being notorious Fortnite leaker AdiraFN. The agreement will see the defendant permanently barred from "possessing, accessing, using, or disclosing any of Epic’s confidential or trade secret information," or helping anyone else do the same.
Epic filed the action in March, alleging that AdiraFN, who had revealed information on numerous Fortnite collaborations before they were announced, was in fact former Fortnite contractor Hayden Cohen. Cohen had signed an NDA as required by the terms of his agreement, but then did exactly the opposite of what he promised to do and, Epic alleged, "repeatedly misappropriated Epic's trade secret information and broadcasted it publicly through his anonymous social media accounts on X (formerly Twitter) and Discord."
