According to reports, Khurana was planning to take important personnel information with him when he left the company, intending to lure high-performing employees to his new company.
Additionally, there are speculations that Khurana may have also stolen critical information related to the company’s supply chain. The outcome of the high-profile lawsuit in Silicon Valley is eagerly awaited. Here are all the details…
Meta makes headlines with a lawsuit this time
In a lawsuit filed last month in the California State Court, Meta stated that its former infrastructure vice president, Khurana, had breached the agreement he signed with them by not adhering to it and sharing the company’s confidential information with third parties.
The company’s lawyers, highlighting the significance of the stolen data infrastructure, also stated that some information about the data infrastructure had been compromised. They allege that Khurana used this information in his new company. If these allegations are proven true, the court could impose a hefty penalty on the former vice president.
Khurana, who reportedly had access to data accessible to only a limited number of people during his tenure at the company, is being heavily investigated for what other information he might have obtained. However, so far, no evidence of any crime has been established.
