The letter goes on to state that Tesla filed lawsuits against the two former employees, without specifying in which jurisdiction. The lawsuits led to the seizure of electronic devices that were believed to have contained company information, according to the letter.
“Tesla also obtained court orders that prohibit the former employees from further use, access, or dissemination of the data, subject to criminal penalties,” the letter stated. “Tesla cooperated with law enforcement and external forensics experts and will continue to take appropriate steps as necessary.”
Steven Elentukh, Tesla’s data privacy officer, did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Sunday.
