Theft of company information is a serious crime that can have severe consequences for both individuals and organizations. Recently, a number of high-profile cases have brought this issue to the forefront of public attention, as individuals have faced charges for stealing confidential information from their employers.
One recent case involved an employee, Sonali Chadha , (soon to be former) of KPMG who was charged with stealing confidential information about the company’s clients. The employee, who had worked for the company for several years, had access to sensitive data and used it to create a database of client information.
