Security is a pipe dream that many companies try to sell, but it is not. Any program can be broken if you have the right methods and knowledge and AMD has been the victim of this fact for the past few months.
Now with an official statement they set the cat bell based on two DMCA notices against the sites listed on Github containing the stolen source code and, as can be seen, referred to Navi and Arden (Xbox Series X processor).
AMD Navi 10, Navi 21 and Arden, the latest leaks
Although only three of the chips are mature and two we already know m ore or less know, they know illegally that we were not served badly Navi 21
AMD was identified in Github a site formerly known as xxXsoullessXxx by a project entitled AMD-navi-GPU-HARDWARE-SOURCE, which contains AMD's intellectual property information, since this is reasonably confidential.
Since someone had direct access to the AMD servers, the company contacted Github and they removed the cache, but the damage was done slightly.
The coupon assured you that in November 2019, we found the AMD Navi GPU source codes on an insecure computer / server, which was able to access them due to weaknesses I found in AMD programs.
Upon receiving it, he realized that the files were unprotected, heavily encrypted, which even annoyed AMD to commit theft.
This information is available for about 100 million
Although the severity of the leak and the data are difficult to pin down, the hacker (he claims to be a woman) claims that theft, code, and details together cost about $ 100 million.
Also, it directly threatens AMD: “If I can't find a buyer, I'll just open it all up. Files will be protected by passwords that will be provided to the consumer only ”.
It is clear that efforts to contact AMD in December 2019 did not reach the port that the hacker was seeking, because the company, despite the evidence it showed, offered no chance and was part of that information we have been unknowingly disclosing. specific methods for associated leaks in previous months.
On the other hand, AMD is already working with corporate executives and there is a criminal investigation underway, according to reports, so they will quickly be around the individual.
False ownership, possibly physical access and location in the US
Obviously, the barber is not really a princess, because she used a Russian girl's nickname and a specific investigation confirms that because of the luggage schedule and work of the specified user, she may be living in the United States. Unity
In addition, it looks like he couldn't find the remote as he said, but it might be possible for a natural person to contact the details and server of AMD to make this claim as mentioned. from various sources.
At the moment they are all thinking because the forensic investigation is not short of anything, so we'll have to wait to find out if they will eventually find the thief, in which case they are and in America, the full legal burden will come upon you.
