AMD late on Tuesday said that it had begun to investigate claims that its internal network, containing sensitive information, had been breached, reports Bloomberg. The first report about the alleged breach by Intelbroker, a notorious cybercriminal, emerged earlier on June 18 at The Cyber Express. The data that the hackers have allegedly obtained spans details of future products to customer databases, and may also include employee details.
"We are aware of a cybercriminal organization claiming to be in possession of stolen AMD data," a statement by AMD published by Bloomberg reads. "We are working closely with law enforcement officials and a third-party hosting partner to investigate the claim and the significance of the data."
