AMD is currently looking into claims that its datacentres were breached, and that hackers made off with a treasure trove of information from the attack.
According to multiple reports, a hacker collective known as “Intelbroker” has been taking credit for the alleged breach into AMD’s servers via a site called “BreachForums.” The group claims that the data it stole includes details on future AMD products, customer databases, financial records, along with other sensitive information.
Screenshots and snippets from internal systems at AMD, show the breadth and depth of the group’s attack, highlighting not only the extent of their prowess, but also the potential vulnerabilities within AMD’s own cyber infrastructure.
We’ve reached out to AMD to comment on the matter and the company provided us with the following statement:
“Based on our investigation, we believe a limited amount of information related to specifications used to assemble certain AMD products was accessed on a third-party vendor site. We do not believe this data breach will have a material impact on our business or operations and are working with law enforcement officials to assist in their investigations.”
This isn’t the first time AMD has been the target of hackers. Back in 2022, AMD had reportedly been targeted by the RansomHouse hacker group, who then claimed that they had extracted data from AMD’s networks. Then, as now, this led to the red CPU and GPU brand launching extensive investigation into its own systems, to see how it could better protect itself from said threats.
