A lawsuit has been filed in Utah federal court by Human Interest against Guidewire, involving accusations of corporate espionage.
"We are going to tear apart HI. It's going to be the easiest thing to do."
This quote is from a text message sent by Brandon Sterri to his brothers on January 29, as stated in the complaint. At the time, Brandon and his brother Brian were still employed by Human Interest, while their third brother, Eirik, worked for Guideline.
The lawsuit alleges that the Sterri brothers, despite being bound by confidentiality agreements and having access to company-issued laptops, engaged in systematic data theft.
