Ex-Tesla engineer accused of illegally accessing former boss’ e-mail

A former Tesla mechanical engineer is facing two counts of felony computer intrusion, according to a Thursday press release from the FBI.

Nima Kalbasi, a 28-year-old Canadian citizen, is accused of illegally accessing his former boss’ e-mail account nearly 300 times during a period of about 30 days in late 2014 and early 2015.

The 28-year-old Canadian citizen appeared before a federal judge in San Jose, California late last month. He was arrested days earlier while crossing the border from Canada into Vermont.
