Apple's lawsuit mentions that the said individual had contacted Apple employees with the intent of obtaining classified information on many occasions. Apple warned him that he would be breaking the law, but he continued doing so.
Apple's Stand on the Case
Apple has early declared that it shall not compromise on the security and privacy of its products. According to the company, such leaks deter future development events due to unprepared reactions from market audiences.
