Misappropriating trade secrets for financial gain is a punishable offense, and this data would qualify as a trade secret, at least for as long as it's not general knowledge to everyone or it has yet to be reverse-engineered.

Wouldn't financial gain limit it to essentially their competitors? Which renders that part irrelevant and is kind of a "no shit" to anyone actually working in processors not to include their stuff in there.
