UPS suing to identify plan leaker – Democrat Gazette

UPS suspects that one of its pilots obtained secret business plans for its aircraft fleet and then posted them online, the shipping giant said in court records.

In a federal lawsuit filed this week, UPS said its strategic plans are highly confidential, and that a PowerPoint presentation containing the trade secrets was created and intended only for senior executives.

“At some point, an unknown UPS pilot wrongfully obtained a copy of the PowerPoint,” UPS states in its lawsuit. Then, in late September, “the unknown UPS pilot posted statements on an online discussion forum about UPS’ confidential strategic plans regarding its aircraft.”

Now, the company is taking steps to identify whoever was responsible for posting the strategic plans on an Internet message board frequented by pilots.
