An American man was "lucky" to go home from an Apple Store with a hard drive on which were saved information confidential about the way Apple organizes its stores. The man took his Mac to be repaired in the respective Apple store, but unfortunately the hard disk had to be replaced, but the data from the old one could not be transferred without it. When he went to pick up his Mac, the man was given what was supposed to be his old hard drive but in reality he received an Apple hard drive that contained confidential information that presented the company's organizational plans for the past 2 years.
Our tipster tells us that when his Mac was having problems, he brought it in for an appointment with the Genius Bar at the local Stamford, Connecticut Apple Store, which took it in to be fixed.
A couple of days later, he was called to pick up his Mac. However, because he needed his hard drive replaced, his system had been totally wiped. When our tipster picked up his Mac, the Genius also handed him a hard drive, which he assumed was his old dead HDD.
The man discovered on the hard disk a backup of an Apple server on which manuals for products, information on sales techniques, information on how to organize stores, timetables, product presentation photos, store organization methods, etc. were available. Basically, the man went home with information that probably only the store managers could see in full and now he is looking to sell it to a publication willing to pay a considerable amount of money. There is information available about how the company from Cupertino works and I'm sure that many competitors would be willing to learn some of the secrets that are hidden in Apple stores.
Below you have some images extracted from the respective hard disk and they seem to be quite convincing.
