Legal actions say highly confidential files were upload from the company's network to personal email or cloud storage accounts, including screen shots of sensitive information.

Qualcomm took legal action this week against a former engineer for allegedly uploading confidential trade secrets from the company’s internal network to his personal email and cloud storage accounts just prior to accepting a job with a competitor.

In both cases filed in San Diego federal court, the company said it doesn’t know the extent to which is confidential information might have been passed on to others. It is asking the court to authorize inspections of the ex-employees’ computers, email accounts, personal storage drives and cloud-based storage accounts to pinpoint what was taken and where it was transferred. It is also seeking an injunctions and unspecified damages.

According to the lawsuit, Qualcomm security personal discovered that Kathuria uploaded “hundreds” of files from Qualcomm’s network in December and January to his personal email and cloud storage accounts without permission. Security software blocked some file transfers, so Kathuria allegedly took hundreds of screenshots of those files and transferred the images.
