"Insider Wrongdoing: Massive Data Breach at Tesla Impacts 75,000"
A data breach at Tesla in May affected over 75,000 people, including current and former employees, and was the result of "insider wrongdoing," according to a notice from the Maine Attorney General. Two former employees misappropriated confidential information in violation of Tesla's IT security and data protection policies and shared it with a media outlet. Tesla has filed lawsuits against the former employees and obtained court orders to prohibit further use or dissemination of the data. The company is cooperating with law enforcement and taking appropriate steps to address the breach.
