AMD is currently investigating claims of a data breach. A cybercriminal group named IntelBroker has alleged that it has stolen sensitive information from AMD, including customer and employee data. The group claims to have accessed databases containing information about future AMD products, firmware, source code, and financial details.
Details of the Alleged Breach
IntelBroker has leaked screenshots to support its claims, showing internal phone numbers and corporate email addresses of AMD employees. Although these employees are marked as “inactive,” the leaked data includes other potentially sensitive information. This includes details on future AMD processors and other internal files. IntelBroker, known within hacker communities, has been associated with other significant hacks.
AMD’s Response and Investigation
AMD has acknowledged these claims and is working with law enforcement agencies to investigate the matter. The company is also collaborating with a third-party hosting partner to understand the extent of the breach. In a statement, AMD said, “We are working closely with law enforcement officials and a third-party hosting partner to investigate the claim and the significance of the data.”
While the investigation is ongoing, AMD’s stock experienced a slight drop. This incident adds to a series of recent high-profile data breaches affecting major corporations. AMD urges caution and advises waiting for the results of the investigation before drawing conclusions.
