OpenAI Countersues Apple in Trade Secrets Case, Citing Security Flaws
TechCrunch AI · rss · 2026-08-06
In the ongoing trade secrets lawsuit filed by Apple, OpenAI has adopted a new legal defense strategy targeting flaws in Apple's own security practices.
Newly filed court exhibits by OpenAI reveal that Apple allowed a manager to access a former engineer's iCloud account after their departure. OpenAI argues that this lax internal security and offboarding protocol fundamentally undermines Apple's claims that the allegedly stolen information was properly protected.
