Apple says former employee exploited ‘rare’ bug to download confidential files after leaving for OpenAI

Apple says a former employee who departed for OpenAI exploited a rare bug to download confidential files from Apple's network after leaving the company. Apple declined to comment further on the incident.

Why it matters: Enterprise security teams should assess whether similar authentication or privilege-management bugs exist in their systems, as extended post-departure access to sensitive data represents a critical control failure.
