AMD is investigating the sale of sensitive data by a hacker known as IntelBroker, which allegedly includes details on future products, customer and employee databases, source code, financial documents, and more. The integrity and source of the data are being probed with the assistance of law enforcement officials and a third-party hosting partner.
Based on the meeting notes, it seems that the chip giant AMD is facing a potential data breach, as a hacker known as IntelBroker has claimed to be in possession of sensitive AMD data. The data being offered for sale allegedly includes information on future AMD products, customer and employee databases, datasheets, source code, property files, firmware, and financial documents. AMD has confirmed that it is working with law enforcement officials and a third-party hosting partner to investigate the claim and the significance of the data. It’s also suggested that the compromised data could potentially originate from a third-party hosting provider rather than directly from AMD’s own systems. IntelBroker has a history of making such claims and offering stolen data from various companies for sale. AMD has previously experienced a data breach in 2020, but it’s unclear if this incident is related. As AMD continues its investigation, the company may provide updates once the source of the data and the full extent of the breach have been determined.
