From PC Mag: Nvidia has confirmed that hackers stole data from the company during last week's breach.
“We are aware that the threat actor took employee credentials and some Nvidia proprietary information from our systems and has begun leaking it online,” the company said in a statement.
Nvidia didn’t specify what was stolen. But the group behind the breach, LAPSUS$, claims it looted 1TB of data, including files about Nvidia hardware and software. The hackers are now demanding the company pay up in cryptocurrency to keep the data secret. However, LAPSUS$ told us Nvidia has yet to reach out.
Nvidia says it became aware of the intrusion on Wednesday, Feb. 23, which prompted the GPU maker to notify law enforcement and tap cybersecurity experts to help it respond to the attack.
The breach occurred a day before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which prompted some observers to wonder if the intrusion was connected to Russian state-sponsored hackers. However, Nvidia said: "We have no evidence of ransomware being deployed on the Nvidia environment or that this is related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict." LAPSUS$ has also denied any affiliation with a state-sponsored hacking group.
