AMD is currently investigating a case where a ransomware group that is allegedly holding a ton of its data that

Also, it should be noted that RansomHouse’s verbiage says that it was in possession of 450 “Gb” of date. Unless that’s a typo, that could translate as 450 Gigabits of data, which converted is just 56.25GB.

As for what was stolen, an ex-cybersecurity reporter by the name of Catalin Cimpanu attempted to verify what was stolen from the supposed breach. Based on his findings, the stolen data seemed to include “network files, system information, as well as AMD passwords”. What Cimpanu is uncertain of is whether the data was genuine or if it originated directly from an attack on AMD or one of its subcontractors.

Attacks of tech giants like AMD are both crucial and obviously important to said companies. Some of you may remember back in August of last year,, one of AMD’s board partners, became a victim of the hacker group, RansomExx, when they made off with 112GB of worth of data, all stolen from their servers, and then proceed to ransom it back to the company.

But when Gigabyte refused to pay it, the threat actors released the stolen data on to the internet; turns out, the stolen data actually contained information of AMD’s Zen4 CPU lineup that at the time, was considered to be sensitive and private information.
