Zhang designed and tested circuit boards as part of the compute team of
Apple’s autonomous car project, according to the federal complaint, which
was filed this week in California’s Northern District. In it, the company
says that Zhang returned from a month of paternity leave at the end of April
, and informed his supervisor at Apple that he was resigning so he could
spend time with his ailing mother in China. In that meeting, Zhang also
shared that he planned to work for an electric car startup in China called
Xiaopeng Motors.
Once Zhang told his Apple supervisor about his intentions, and after “
feeling that he had been evasive,” according to the filing, a member of
Apple’s New Product Security Division joined the meeting and had Zhang turn
in his two work phones and his laptop. After the meeting, Apple reviewed
Zhang’s past network activity, performed a forensic analysis on his work
devices, as well as his “activities on the Apple campus,” including swipe
badge access and closed circuit TV footage.
The company’s security team discovered that Zhang’s network activity “
increased exponentially compared to the prior two years of his employment”
in the days before his attempted resignation, and that the majority of that
activity was “bulk searches and targeted downloading copious pages of
information” from confidential databases that he had access to. The CCTV
footage that Apple reviewed showed, according to the complaint, Zhang
leaving the company’s autonomous vehicle lab on April 28th (during time
when he was supposed to be on leave) carrying a “computer keyboard, some
cables, and a large box.”
APPLE SAYS ZHANG WAS CAUGHT ON CCTV LEAVING THE COMPANY’S AUTONOMOUS
VEHICLE LAB WITH A BOX OF EQUIPMENT
Apple security teams confronted Zhang with this information in a follow-up
meeting on May 1st, and the company says he admitted to taking data and
removing items, including circuit boards and a Linux server, from the
autonomous vehicle lab. He told Apple that he was pursuing a job at Xpeng,
and said that he had also Air Dropped data to his wife’s laptop. After he
consented to a search of that laptop, Apple found approximately 40GB of data
, 60 percent of which its forensic teams said was “highly problematic.”
Zhang was “voluntarily terminated from Apple” on May 5th, per the
complaint. The company says that after this, Zhang claimed to work for Xpeng
, though it’s unclear if he ever did. Representatives for Xpeng and Alibaba
could not be reached for comment in time for publication.
Apple alerted the FBI of its findings in May, and the agency in turn
obtained a search warrant for Zhang’s home. The FBI searched his home on
June 27th, and when the agency interviewed Zhang that day, he admitted to
the same things that he had told Apple, according to the filing.
On July 7th, the FBI learned that Zhang had bought a round trip ticket from
San Jose, California to Beijing, according to the complaint. Federal agents
arrested Zhang after he passed through the security checkpoint at San Jose
International Airport.
