New Spying Claims Emerge in Silicon Valley Corporate Espionage Scandal (ft.com) 14

A bitter fight over alleged corporate espionage involving two of Silicon Valley's hottest startups took a new twist on Tuesday, after $12 billion HR software company Deel claimed arch-rival Rippling had directed one of its employees to "pilfer" the company's assets by posing as a customer. From a report: The latest claim comes after Rippling alleged earlier this year that a staff member had been spying on behalf of Deel. The employee locked themselves into a bathroom and smashed their phone with an axe when confronted with allegations, according to their own testimony.

In new legal filings seen by the Financial Times, Deel has countered by arguing that: "Rippling has been actively engaged in a carefully co-ordinated espionage campaign, through which it infiltrated Deel's customer platform by fraudulent means and pilfered the company's most valuable proprietary assets."
