The New Taipei District Prosecutors' Office has indicted a former senior engineer at Nanya Technology for secretly filming confidential company information in an alleged effort to secure a high-paying job in China.
Prosecutors says the man has been charged with violating the Trade Secrets Act and breach of trust.
The man is said to have contacted Chinese headhunters on WeChat between 2025 and 2026 to inquire about high-paying positions without his employer's knowledge.
After he resigned February, he allegedly entered restricted areas of Nanya's offices three times between March and April and downloaded documents related to core manufacturing processes and filmed the documents with a camera.
The case came to light after Nanya's information security specialists detected anomalies by comparing the locations of wireless equipment with employee access-control records and activity logs from company-issued computers.
