Samsung engineer caught stealing core semiconductor technology

Samsung Electronics’ Device Solutions (DS) Division recently dismissed Engineer A on the grounds of allegations of leaking documents containing core semiconductor technology and has requested an investigation by the national authorities in Korea.

As the global competition for semiconductor supremacy intensifies, this is the second incident that the company has experienced once again. Samsung reportedly caught Engineer A sending dozens of important documents, including core semiconductor technology, to a personal external email account.

It’s also reported that some of the data were then forwarded for secondary storage to another external email account. In an unusual move related to this incident, Samsung is reported to have posted a comprehensive notice on its internal network.

The notice included the current status of penalties for previous leakage incidents, the dismissal of Engineer A, and the request for an investigation. This action is seen as an attempt to raise awareness about the gravity of technology leakage.
