This is the best summary I could come up with:
If you’ve ever embarrassed yourself by publicly sharing a part of your screen you weren’t supposed to, spare a thought for Mohammad Moniruzzaman, who’s alleged to have shown off the source code he stole from a former employer during a Microsoft Teams call with that same company.
This alleged theft came to light in March the following year, when employees from both Nvidia and Valeo were on a call together working on a joint parking assistance project for an unnamed automotive parts maker.
Nvidia had won the contract to develop software on the project, while Valeo was providing ultrasonic sensor hardware.
The lawsuit goes on to state that German police “discovered Valeo documentation and hardware pinned on the walls of Mr. Moniruzzaman’s home office” when they raided his home as part of a criminal investigation, and that Valeo’s software and documents were found on his Nvidia computer when it was seized by investigators.
Bloomberg notes that Moniruzzaman was convicted of infringing Valeo’s business secrets in Germany in September and fined €14,400 ($15,724).
As a result, Valeo is seeking damages and an injunction to stop Nvidia and its employees from using or sharing its trade secrets.
