The guys at
SeattlePi have uncovered a bit of espionage going on in Redmond. According to Microsoft, a former employee took a position with the company in order to spy on them for his startup. In a lawsuit filed in King Couny Superior Court in Seattle, Microsoft alleges former employee
Miki Mullor, founder of Ancora Technologies Inc, sought employment with the company because he believed Microsoft's
System Locked Preinstallation anti-piracy technology (SLP), infringed on an Ancora patent. During the application process Mullor claimed that Ancora was out of business—which doesn't appear to be true.
