Internal files as well as Intel and AMD source code out after Gigabyte website breach

A week or two ago a RansomEXX ransomware virus hit Gigabyte, where 112 GB of data was taken. The information posted by the hackers is currently on display, according to CyberNews.

A dataset of 7 GB with files like Gigabyte, Intel source code, and documents from AMD, among other things has been posted. Prior to publishing, the files were previously available on the RansomEXX website. When Gigabyte declined to pay the ransom, the files were released on hacker forums, where they could be found.

This Intel Manageability Commander application source code has been made publicly available. Other files including sensitive information from AMD that are now out in the open are also included in the dataset.

When it comes to Gigabyte, a lot of firm data was lost. Thus, it can be concluded that the hackers are not yet finished with them. Only a small portion of the 112 GB of material has been released. As of the moment, it looks that Gigabyte customers' personal data has not been stolen.

I heard everything else was stolen, but the hackers refused to touch the files containing Gigabyte PSU blueprints.
