Apple recently sent a lengthy memo warning employees about leaking. As you might have guessed, that memo got leaked.

On Friday, Bloomberg News published what it described as an "internal blog" post in full. The memo warned that Apple "employees, contractors, or suppliers-do get caught, and they're getting caught faster than ever."
