Meta has filed a lawsuit against a former executive for allegedly taking confidential documents with him when he defected to an AI startup. The lawsuit, initially reported by Bloomberg, accuses the former vice-president of infrastructure, Dipinder Singh Khurana, of violating his contract by absconding with a collection of proprietary and highly sensitive documents related to Meta's business operations and employees.
The lawsuit claims that Khurana's actions constitute a significant breach of trust and loyalty towards Meta. It alleges that he uploaded internal documents, including a dossier labeled 'Top Talent,' to his personal Google Drive and Dropbox accounts just before leaving the company.
