Data breaches are so common these days that even when they hit the headlines, most people don't really pay much attention. But when the target in question is AMD, the main barrier to the chip industry being monopolised by two particular companies, you can be sure that the PC industry will not leave this event unnoticed.
News of the breach was reported by PC Mag, referencing a post on X that shows a claim made by hacking group IntelBroker that it had captured a significant amount of confidential information from a third-party hosting company used by AMD. Up for sale are databases of customers and employees, information on future products, specifications, ROM files, source code, firmware, and other sensitive data.
