On February 23, hackers managed to compromise NVIDIA’s network and steal not only employee credentials but also proprietary information.
The Lapsus$ ransomware gang, which claimed responsibility for the attack and apparently asked the chip maker to pay $1 million for the stolen data, started leaking the compromised information over the weekend, saying the move was retaliation to NVIDIA’s alleged attempt to hack them back.
Earlier this week, the company confirmed that sensitive data was stolen in the incident, but provided no details on the number of impacted individuals or the manner in which its network was breached.
