“We are aware that the threat actor took employee credentials and some NVIDIA proprietary information from our systems and has begun leaking it online. Our team is working to analyze that information,” NVIDIA said.
A known ransomware gang called Lapsus$ claims to have stolen over 1 terabyte of data from NVIDIA. On a Telegram channel, the data-extortion gang confirmed it had started to publicly disclose the stolen data.
NVIDIA said it did not anticipate any business disruption. “Security is a continuous process that we take very seriously at NVIDIA – and we invest in the protection and quality of our code and products daily,” the spokesperson added.
