NVIDIA confirms data was stolen in cyberattack
US Chipmaker Nvidia confirms that its network was breached in a cyberattack last week, and the hackers have accessed proprietary information data and employee login data.
The news of the attack came to light when the actor, a data extortion group named Lapsus$ claimed it and started to share details about the incident and the damage they produced.
Initially, Nvidia stated that they were investigating an incident that reportedly impacted some systems, causing an outage.
Over the weekend, Lapsus$ provided more details about the intrusion and said that they had 1TB of Nvidia proprietary data and shared passwords hashes that belonged to company employees.
Lapsus$ also leaked a large document archive (close to 20GB) claiming it was from the 1TB cache they stole from Nvidia.
Later, Nvidia confirmed that on February 23rd it detected a cybersecurity incident which impacted IT resources.
The chipmaker giant said that there was no evidence of a ransomware attack but the threat actor stole employee credentials and proprietary information.
The company said that its team is currently checking the information to analyze it and notes that the incident is not expected to disrupt its business or the ability to serve customers.
