In recent years, many large technology companies have also suffered from hackers and ransomware. AMD has also become a victim. A few days ago, a hacker group named RansomHouse disclosed some AMD data on the dark web, and threatened AMD for ransom.
In fact, they broke AMD’s defense line only in January this year. It is said that the stolen data is 450Gb (some reports are written as 450GB). The reason why some data is only released now is AMD’s head iron, and they did not intend to give them ransom, so RansomHouse released part of the data. Data puts pressure on AMD.
Not only that, but RansomHouse will be punished after murdering——Some of the data they released is the password of AMD employees,An important reason for AMD’s security protection to be breached is that AMD employees use weak passwords.
How weak is this password? It is so weak that it is illegal to use it in a large company.Because there are many passwords used by AMD employees, such as 123456, password, Welcome1, etc.,RansomHouse directly stated that using such a password is a disgrace to the security services.
AMD has also confirmed a potential breach, though they would not say whether they received a ransom demand or which systems were targeted, and declined to answer questions about password security measures.
