In the note posted by Apple, it is stated that in 1971 only 29 employees were caught as leak collaborators, 12 of whom were arrested. In addition, it is said that a leak cooperator who has identified a person is "not only to lose a job at Apple, it also makes it extremely difficult to find a job at another place".

The memo denies about the drop in sales due to the leakage of new product information beforehand, but rather "we need the opportunity to explain to customers the superiority of Apple products, but that is a boring method by someone else It should not be done at the same time, "stating the harmful effect of information being leaked in an unintended form in a severe expression.

In the memo, we disclose the details of the specific leakage case by media name. Apple has invested heavily in technology to discover leak collaborators, saying that specific capabilities are improving. An employee who leaked out the link to iOS 11 information just before the new product event in September 2017 also said that the person was identified and was dismissed. Also, persons who provided information on iPhone X, new iPad Pro, AirPods, etc. to the writer of the Apple related information site "9to5Mac" have also been identified.

Leak collaborators in the external supply chain have also been found. Apple is working with a special department to protect intellectual property rights and checks that each supplier's security level conforms to Apple's standards. Regardless of whether it is inside or outside the company, what cooperates with leaks is not only fired from Apple and its affiliates, but also the possibility of receiving a criminal penalty for criminal charges of a federal crime due to network intrusions and leakage of trade secrets We are doing it.

At the end of the note, Greg Joswiak, Apple's marketing officer, "All the people at the company are gathering for the best jobs" "To contribute to all employees The best way is to not let information leak out. "

Although it is Apple who expressed a strict attitude to leak, it is a place to wonder whether information of the blog "leak" to Bloomberg is not a problem.
