A private spreadsheet, described as a ‘whisper network,’ has been circulating among tech workers in Silicon Valley. The document names over 100 individuals, including prominent investors, businessmen, and employees from major technology and Artificial Intelligence companies, who are accused of sexual misconduct.

Allegations contained within the list range from unwanted sexual advances and drugging to sexual assault and rape. Many female workers in the industry have expressed a reluctance to report these incidents to law enforcement, citing fears of being blacklisted or facing professional retaliation from influential figures.

The reports highlight concerns regarding ‘hacker houses’—shared living and social spaces for technology workers—which have been linked to allegations of harassment and abuse. Following recent reports of the list, eleven additional women have come forward to report sexual assaults within the tech industry.

Insiders have characterized the situation as a network of power brokers who allegedly trade favors and cover for one another. Some victims have reported difficulties in finding subsequent employment after reporting misconduct.
