GIGABYTE, AMD & Intel Confidential Documents Published Online

You might remember our recent post about the major GIGABYTE hack by attacker group RansomEXX where they stole 112 GB of data including confidential technical documents from Intel and AMD in addition to various GIGABYTE files. The attack occurred the week of August 2 and resulted in the temporary closure of GIGABYTE's headquarters, it would appear that GIGABYTE did not reach an agreement with the attackers as the first 7 GB of these documents have now been published online. The files were uploaded to RansomEXX's public website and included confidential AMD documents along with the source code for the Intel Manageability Commander. These documents have already confirmed the details of AMD's upcoming Ryzen Threadripper 5000 lineup and Socket AM5 cooler compatibility, we expect the hackers will continue to publish the stolen data unless an agreement is reached with GIGABYTE.
