A Man Just Acquired Hard Drive full of Apple Secrets Documents

This sound weird, but it's the truth. One of Apple Store Geniuses just handed over to a customer, a complete Time Machine backup of the Apple Store’s internal file server, filed with highly classified/confidential Apple Store documents.

This man went to Apple Store to fix his Time Capsule and the Apple Store's Genuises after repairing the Time Capsule, accidentally gave him the hard drive believing it was his old dead hard drive.

When he got home and plugged the HDD into a USB to see if he could retrieve his old files, he saw something else..... a working disk containing a Full Time Machine Backup of Apple Retail Store Server, packed with highly classified documents dating from late 2009 to May 2011.

“confidential docs, internal manuals, Apple’s sales technics, an Apple store work checklist, products layout, time schedules, pictures and videos of Apple corporate activities that only Apple employees can see, videos of store meetings, business structure and much much much more.”

According the Cult of Mac, the unidentified tipster contacted them (Cult of Mac) and offered to hand over the hard drive to them if they could pay for it, but they rejected the offer, saying they do not pay for stories, confidential informations, iPhone prototypes etc. and advised him to return the hard drive to Apple.

Below are some screen shots of the files the man found on the hard drive, trust me they are for real.

The volumes in question were called “/Volumes/apple store/Backups.backupdb/teamserver/2009-11-23-095346/HD1/Server Users” & “/Volumes/apple store/Backups.backupdb/teamserver/2011-05-18-141707/HD1/Users/admin”.
