Last night, Xiaomi officially issued a statement, which pointed out that Bao Moumou, an employee of the media "ZAKER", and Guan Moumou, an employee of "Xiaobai Buying Car", intentionally leaked confidential filming content without permission after signing a confidentiality agreement. The official stated that the two people and their media outlets will be held accountable for leaks, including but not limited to public apologies and fines.This afternoon, ZAKER officially released an "apology statement regarding the Xiaomi car information leakage incident."
It describes in detail the situation in which employees leaked information about Xiaomi cars:
On December 17, 2023, ZAKER was invited to participate in Xiaomi Auto's static product tasting and shooting event. Before the event, Bao Moumou, an employee of our automotive division, signed a "Letter of Confidentiality Commitment".
During the tasting shoot, Bao mistakenly believed that the photos of Xiaomi cars previously released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology were material taken by other media at the same location, and mistakenly believed that your company allowed the public release of the photos taken.Therefore, without the permission of your company's on-site staff and without notifying our company, three photos with Xiaomi's work behind-the-scenes pictures were posted to his personal WeChat Moments for personal purposes.
After being reminded by the on-site staff, Bao immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately deleted the content in the circle of friends.The post lasted about five minutes, but the photo has since spread and sparked a buzz online.
After learning about the incident, our company attached great importance to it and immediately established an incident investigation team on the same day to verify the relevant situation and relevant personnel.
The employee involved, Bao Moumou, fully realized his mistake, and our company severely criticized and educated Bao Moumou. His personal behavior of leaking secrets without authorization has seriously violated the rules and regulations of the "ZAKER Employee Handbook" and the confidentiality obligations of employees.According to the company's relevant rules and regulations, our company has dismissed Bao, an employee of the automotive division, and will never hire him.
