In an internal email to Apple employees , CEO Tim Cook has raged that anyone who leak confidential internal messages does not belong at the fellowship . In an ironical if predictable wrench , this email has itself been leaked to the press .
He append that the company is now doing everything in its power to place those who leak internal substance , reportsThe brink .
“ As you know , we do not stand disclosure of confidential information , whether it ’s product IP or the detail of a confidential meeting , ” Cook writes .
“ We know that the leaker constitute a small number of people . We also know that mass who leak confidential selective information do not belong here . ”
Cook ’s frustration apparently stems from an internal memoranda sent out on 17 September , in which he write , among other thing , that Apple will require regular COVID-19 examination for those on staff who are not inoculate . The depicted object of that message were subsequentlyleaked to The Verge .
Apple has historically been acknowledge as an exceptionally close ship’s company , but this approach has been more difficult to sustain amid the unusual conditions over the retiring couple of class : with many employees working from home , it ’s less feasible to maintain a embryonic membrane of concealment over the products they are working on . This may be one cause why Apple is lancinating toget employees back in the office .
One method of dealing with making water is to deliberately sow misinformation , enabling the ship’s company both to describe leakers and discredit leakage publishing firm . ( We suspect this has pass off at least onceto Jon Prosser . ) But this takes patience , and it sounds like Apple is now prepared to take a more belligerent plan of attack .
