• Attempts to locate Luo have been unsuccessful so far

Former Intel software engineer Jinfeng Luo has been accused of stealing around 18,000 Intel files, including data labelled “Top Secret,” upon leaving the company, per The Mercury News.

Luo joined the company in 2014 and received notice of termination in July 2024, but the company has since gone after the former worker with a lawsuit to recover its files.

The report claims Luo had tried to copy files a week before leaving, but this was successful blocked by the company’s security measures.
