Rippling, an HR software firm, has filed a lawsuit against Deel, claiming that they employed a spy within Rippling to steal confidential information. The company discovered unusual activity involving an employee in Ireland who was accessing Slack channels unrelated to his payroll role, attempting to gather information about competitors and sensitive customer data. This led Rippling to launch an investigation and set up a honeypot email operation aimed at exposing the spy's activities after noting suspicious contact from Deel to its employees. The situation escalated dramatically as the alleged spy attempted to evade a court order.
Rippling launched a honeypot operation by sending an email to Deel's leadership, revealing a Slack channel that could irritate them, in order to catch an alleged spy.
Allegations surfaced of a spy, an employee in Ireland, who improperly accessed sensitive information at Rippling to help competitor Deel, jeopardizing company secrets.
