Apple is suing Andrew Aude for leaking Apple projects he wanted 'killed,' including the Journal app and the Vision Pro.
Apple filed a lawsuit earlier this month against former software engineer Andrew Aude, alleging he leaked info about products he wanted to “kill” to a journalist saved in his phone as “Homeboy.” The secret projects included Apple’s new Journal app and the Vision Pro, first reported by MacRumors Thursday. The former Apple software engineer shared over 1,400 Signal messages with “Homeboy,” Aude’s secret name for a Wall Street Journal reporter, according to filings.
” Apple alleges Aude was malicious and willful in what products he leaked. Aude also leaked details about the Apple Vision Pro back in Oct. 2020, despite Apple. In Aug. 2021, the software engineer confirmed rumors about a design feature of an unreleased Apple device, noting that it was “one of Apple’s best secret features.” Aude got caught in Nov. 2023, when a manager asked him if he’d been leaking information to journalists.
