Earlier this week AMD announced that it was investigating claims of a serious internal network breach. Now the chipmaker has provided an updated statement to Bloomberg, characterizing the damage as limited. AMD said the infiltration shouldn’t have any significant impact on its operations because the hackers obtained only a limited amount of information.
The first reports of the breach came on June 18 from the attackers themselves. Notorious cybercriminal Intelbroker claimed to have obtained data that included plans for future products, customer information, and employee details. AMD later acknowledged the claims and said it was working “closely with law enforcement officials and a third-party hosting partner to investigate the claim and the significance of the data."
