Guest host Scott Tong brought a truly wild story to this grab-bag Friday episode. Coca-Cola is accusing a former employee of stealing trade secrets — not the formula for what goes in the can, but the can itself. We’ll talk about it, some other weird trade secrets and, oh yeah, a 3,000-year-old lost city in Egypt. Plus, another round of our favorite game, “Half Full/Half Empty.”
Here’s everything we talked about on the show today:
- “Coca-Cola trade secret theft underscores importance of insider threat early detection” from CSO
- “Former Coke Scientist Accused of Stealing Trade Secrets for Chinese Venture” from The Wall Street Journal
- Plus more trade secrets involving Oreos, popcorn and Hooters.
- “A 3,000-year-old ‘lost golden city’ has been unearthed in Egypt” from The Washington Post
