AMD falls victim of the RansomHouse Extortion Group - 56GB of data stolen

AMD falls victim of the RansomHouse Extortion Group - 56GB of data stolen

RansomHouse, a relatively young data-extortion cybercrime organization, has announced a significant new victim. The organization released a new update on its darknet site today, claiming to have infiltrated Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a significant chip manufacturing company.

RansomHouse claims to have hacked AMD's network in January 2022 and exfiltrated "more than 56GB" of data. As evidence, the group has also published a data sample, reports website restoreprivacy. Samples of the more than 450 gigabits of stolen data are leaked on the website.

Restoreprivacy reviewed a sample of data that included network files, system information, and AMD passwords collected during the incident. The file structure of the sample that RansomHouse provided on its darknet domain earlier today is shown below.

RansomHouse informed RestorePrivacy that a sample of AMD data had already been leaked on the group's website. AMD was employing "basic passwords" to safeguard its network. AMD's security team appears to have missed a few oversights since ordinary passwords like "password" were used.

AMD is aware of a bad actor claiming to be in possession of stolen data from AMD. An investigation is currently underway.

-AMD Communications Director

We should find these people and collectively beat them with a big stick.

I'm surprised that after 3 hours nobody has yet asked if they were running Intel CPUs. :D

Is it just me or 56 GB feels really small ?
That's basically the size of a single blu-ray disk, or half of the size of a modern AAA game.

What is this leak, just text? No pictures, no engineering documents with highly detailed schematics ? Those can take a lot of space, in the order of hundreds of MB each (think TIFF pictures)

It all depends what is in that 56 GB.
