    What's the story

    Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a leading semiconductor company, has been hit by another significant cyberattack.

    This breach follows a similar incident in June 2024, where the company's employee data was compromised.

    The latest attack is attributed to criminal groups IntelBroker and EnergyWeaponUser, who have reportedly stolen various types of data from AMD.

    The stolen information includes user credentials, internal resolutions, and detailed case descriptions.

    Data sale

    Stolen AMD data listed for sale on dark web

    Hackers are selling stolen AMD data on BreachForums, a dark web marketplace.

    This incident marks the second time this year that AMD's internal communications and sensitive employee information have been compromised by cyberattacks.

    The previous breach in June also resulted in the theft of employee data such as phone numbers, email addresses, and financial documents.

    Attack history

    IntelBroker's history of cyberattacks and AMD's response

    IntelBroker, one of the groups behind the attack on AMD, has been linked to several other alleged breaches in recent months.

    High-profile targets such as Europol and T-Mobile were reportedly attacked by this group. However, both organizations have denied any compromise of their systems.

    In response to the latest breach, AMD has acknowledged the claims but has not yet verified the details or provided a comprehensive comment.

    Investigation underway

    AMD collaborates with law enforcement for investigation

    AMD has said that it is aware of the claims made by the cybercriminal organization and is working with law enforcement and a third-party hosting partner to investigate the situation.

    The company is also assessing the extent of the data breach.

    This latest attack on AMD underscores concerns about ongoing threats posed by cyber criminals, particularly those targeting AI chipmakers like AMD.

    Security risks

    Data breaches pose risk of identity theft, phishing attacks

    Data breaches like the ones suffered by AMD pose significant risks to affected parties.

    These include potential identity theft, phishing attacks, and financial loss.

    Individuals concerned about their personal information are advised to take proactive measures such as using identity theft protection services.

    The recent series of cyberattacks serves as a stark reminder of the ever-present dangers in today's digital landscape and underscores the importance of staying vigilant.
