Frankly speaking, these are clichés; whenever the editor writes about security topics, they often end with such warnings. Unexpectedly, this time it turned out to be prophetic. Today, a tech giant reportedly faced a suspected data theft issue, and that company is AMD.
On June 17, a hacker named IntelBroker posted on a forum claiming:
“Today, I am selling leaked AMD data. Thank you for reading. The specific data and content include unpublished AMD product information, specification sheets, employee databases, customer databases, asset files, ROMs, source code, firmware, and financials.”
The employee database includes information such as employee IDs, names, job positions, company phone numbers, email addresses, and employment status. To prove the authenticity of the above content, IntelBroker released several screenshots;
AMD has been informed of this incident and stated, “We are aware that a cybercriminal organization claims to possess stolen AMD data,” emphasizing that the company is working closely with law enforcement officials and third-party hosting partners to investigate and verify the situation.
The incident is still developing, and there is no additional information to share at this time. The editor will provide more updates as soon as possible, so please stay tuned.
Finally, the editor wants to remind everyone once again: whether you are a personal home user or a business user, network data security is crucial. Although such incidents are relatively rare, if they do happen, the consequences could be unbearable.
