AMD gets hacked
A forum had a post from a group called IntelBroker that claimed to have AMD data for sale, including product, employee, and customer details. AMD investigated, and did not confirm any losses, although there was a data breach. This was followed by a report that damage was limited in scope. It also said it was working with law enforcement and a third-party hosting partner. It transpires that the data was from a vendor’s system. AMD has been suitably tight-lipped about what has been stolen, and says it is unlikely to have any significant effect on business or operations. IntelBroker has managed some high-profile breaches in the past, including one at Los Angeles International Airport.
