AMD investigates claims of alleged data heist

The Hindu Bureau The Hindu Bureau | 06-20 00:11

Chipmaker AMD is looking into potential cyberattack that allegedly led to a threat actor accessing internal company data for future products, employee database and customer database.

The threat actor is allegedly selling the stolen data which they claimed was obtained from an AMD.com breach this month.

AMD said it is aware of a cybercriminal organization claiming to be in possession of stolen data and that it is working closely with law enforcement officials and a third-party hosting partner to investigate the claim and the significance of the data leak, a report from The Verge said.

Earlier, the threat actor behind the attack attempted to sell data stolen through alleged attacks on Europol, the Home Depot and the health insurance marketplace DC Health Link.
