Yahoo! Inc. sued a former employee over claims she “brazenly” divulged confidential information about the company to a reporter who was writing a book about Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer’s leadership.
Yahoo claims that Cecile Lal, a former senior director of product management, broke a confidentiality agreement when she leaked proprietary information to the journalist that she learned during “FYI” meetings with Mayer, according to a complaint filed in state court in San Jose, California.
