<\/a><\/p>\nDas Wirtschaftsmagazin Bloomberg<\/a> hat das Schreiben ver\u00f6ffentlicht. Laut Apple habe ein speziell f\u00fcr diese Aufgabe eingesetztes Ermittler-Team im vergangenen Jahr 29 sogenannte \u201eLeaker\u201c enttarnt, zw\u00f6lf davon seien sogar verhaftet worden. Apple warnt zudem davor, dass diese Menschen nicht nur ihren Arbeitsplatz verlieren, sondern auch massive Problem haben werden, \u00fcberhaupt wieder irgendwo einen Job zu finden. Die Ma\u00dfnahmen betreffen nicht nur direkt bei Apple angestellte Mitarbeiter, sondern auch das Personal von Vertragspartnern und Lieferanten.<\/p>\n Als Beispiele nennt Apple fr\u00fche Berichte<\/a> \u00fcber Pl\u00e4ne, Funktionen von iOS und macOS zur\u00fcckzustellen sowie die verfr\u00fcht im Netz aufgetauchte<\/a> finale Version von iOS 11, mit der die letzten Geheimnisse um die Neuvorstellungen auf Apples September-Keynote gel\u00fcftet wurden.<\/p>\n Apple argumentiert weiter mit Einfluss solcher Vorabver\u00f6ffentlichungen auf die Verkaufszahlen aktueller Produkte und beharrt auf das Recht, die neuen Produkte selbst anzuk\u00fcndigen.<\/p>\n Wir wollen die M\u00f6glichkeit haben, unseren Kunden selbst zu erz\u00e4hlen, warum ein Produkt gro\u00dfartig ist, anstatt dass jemand anderes diese Aufgabe schlecht erledigt.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Apples aktuelle Ma\u00dfnahme d\u00fcrfte Wirkung zeigen. Das Schreiben stellt klar, dass Apple hier eine \u201ezero tolerance\u201c-Politik verfolgt, nachdem alle anderen Ma\u00dfnahmen im Vorfeld nicht gegriffen haben. Apple-Chef Tim Cook warf vor f\u00fcnf Jahren noch mit S\u00e4tzen wie \u201eWe double down on security\u201c um sich, in der Realit\u00e4t gestaltete sich dies allerdings gegenl\u00e4ufig. Seit Cooks Amtsantritt gab es kaum eine Apple-Ank\u00fcndigung, bei der wesentliche Details nicht schon im Vorfeld bekannt waren.<\/p>\n Last month, Apple caught and fired the employee responsible for leaking details from an internal, confidential meeting about Apple\u2019s software roadmap. Hundreds of software engineers were in attendance, and thousands more within the organization received details of its proceedings. One person betrayed their trust.<\/p>\n The employee who leaked the meeting to a reporter later told Apple investigators that he did it because he thought he wouldn\u2019t be discovered. But people who leak — whether they\u2019re Apple employees, contractors or suppliers — do get caught and they\u2019re getting caught faster than ever.<\/p>\n In many cases, leakers don\u2019t set out to leak. Instead, people who work for Apple are often targeted by press, analysts and bloggers who befriend them on professional and social networks like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook and begin to pry for information. While it may seem flattering to be approached, it\u2019s important to remember that you\u2019re getting played. The success of these outsiders is measured by obtaining Apple\u2019s secrets from you and making them public. A scoop about an unreleased Apple product can generate massive traffic for a publication and financially benefit the blogger or reporter who broke it. But the Apple employee who leaks has everything to lose.<\/p>\n The impact of a leak goes far beyond the people who work on a project.<\/p>\n Leaking Apple\u2019s work undermines everyone at Apple and the years they\u2019ve invested in creating Apple products. \u201cThousands of people work tirelessly for months to deliver each major software release,\u201d says UIKit lead Josh Shaffer, whose team\u2019s work was part of the iOS 11 leak last fall. \u201cSeeing it leak is devastating for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n The impact of a leak goes beyond the people who work on a particular project \u2014 it\u2019s felt throughout the company. Leaked information about a new product can negatively impact sales of the current model; give rival companies more time to begin on a competitive response; and lead to fewer sales of that new product when it arrives. \u201cWe want the chance to tell our customers why the product is great, and not have that done poorly by someone else,\u201d says Greg Joswiak of Product Marketing.<\/p>\n Investments by Apple have had an enormous impact on the company\u2019s ability to identify and catch leakers. Just before last September\u2019s special event, an employee leaked a link to the gold master of iOS 11 to the press, again believing he wouldn\u2019t be caught. The unreleased OS detailed soon-to-be-announced software and hardware including iPhone X. Within days, the leaker was identified through an internal investigation and fired. Global Security\u2019s digital forensics also helped catch several employees who were feeding confidential details about new products including iPhone X, iPad Pro and AirPods to a blogger at 9to5Mac.<\/p>\n Leakers in the supply chain are getting caught, too. Global Security has worked hand-in-hand with suppliers to prevent theft of Apple\u2019s intellectual property as well as to identify individuals who try to exceed their access. They\u2019ve also partnered with suppliers to identify vulnerabilities \u2014 both physical and technological \u2014 and ensure their security levels meet or exceed Apple\u2019s expectations. These programs have nearly eliminated the theft of prototypes and products from factories, caught leakers and prevented many others from leaking in the first place.<\/p>\n Leakers do not simply lose their jobs at Apple. In some cases, they face jail time and massive fines for network intrusion and theft of trade secrets both classified as federal crimes. In 2017, Apple caught 29 leakers. 12 of those were arrested. Among those were Apple employees, contractors and some partners in Apple\u2019s supply chain. These people not only lose their jobs, they can face extreme difficulty finding employment elsewhere. \u201cThe potential criminal consequences of leaking are real,\u201d says Tom Moyer of Global Security, \u201cand that can become part of your personal and professional identity forever.\u201d<\/p>\n While they carry serious consequences, leaks are completely avoidable. They are the result of a decision by someone who may not have considered the impact of their actions. \u201cEveryone comes to Apple to do the best work of their lives \u2014 work that matters and contributes to what all 135,000 people in this company are doing together,\u201d says Joswiak. \u201cThe best way to honor those contributions is by not leaking.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In einem Rundschreiben warnt Apple seine Angestellten davor, interne Informationen zu zuk\u00fcnftigen Produkten an die \u00d6ffentlichkeit zu tragen.
