SAP admits to corporate espionage against Oracle
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets
Uh oh, we’ve got ourselves a true-blue corporate competitive intelligence espionage fiasco exploding on the international stage. Germany’s SAP has admitted to “inappropriate downloads” from arch-rival, Oracle in the US. Oracle is suing SAP with claims that it is guilty of “corporate theft on a grand scale” after hacking into Oracle’s computer network and stealing a “wide range of copyrighted software and other material” from their Peoplesoft business unit. Taking the presidential classic, “I didn’t inhale” defense, SAP admits to stealing the data but claims it never left the systems of their wholly owned subsidiary, TomorrowNow (where SAP has “made changes” to management). Well, at least now we can more clearly see why the French are so concerned with their sensitive data being hosted outside of their immediate control.
