Tech giant Citrix, sync 'n' share startup Egnyte fire lawsuits at each other

Two file sync 'n' sharers are at war. Google-backed Egnyte is suing Citrix for unfair competition and Citrix is counter-suing Egnyte for unfair trade practices, among other things. The battle started when Egnyte hired seven ex-Citrix sales people, in the process of setting up a regional sales office in Raleigh, North Carolina …

Citrix then alleged in its own October 12 counter-complaint** that the staffers, named as co-defendants, had accessed confidential Citrix information after they had left for Egnyte, its competitor.

so basically Citrix forgot to delete the sharefile data off its ex employee's machines and so it being naturally available on their ex employee's home machines, they opened it...

Sounds like Citrix doesn't know how to use the product it so helpfully sell's to customers...
