AMD has seemingly completed its investigation behind the recent cyberattack, and with it comes a statement from the company behind the Ryzen, Radeon, and EPYC brands that can confirm that while a hacker did manage to breach its systems, only a “limited amount” of information was taken, and the breach won’t have a “material impact” on its business or operations. IntelBroker, the hacker behind the attack, shared a post on the Breach Forum earlier this week that suggested a lot more information, including employee names, phone numbers, and email addresses, had been compromised, however.
An AMD company spokesperson said:
- “Based on our investigation, we believe a limited amount of information related to specifications used to assemble certain AMD products was accessed on a third-party vendor site.”
- “We do not believe this data breach will have a material impact on our business or operations.”
Accessed information was said to include:
- Compromised data
- ROMs
- Firmware
- Source code
- Property files
- Employee databases
- Customer databases
- Financial information
- Future AMD product plans
- Technical specification sheets
- Employee data
- User IDs
- Job functions
- Email addresses
- Employment status
- First and last names
- Business phone numbers

From a report:
The second-largest maker of PC processors launched an investigation this week after reports that an organization called Intelbroker had breached its systems. On Wednesday, AMD followed up to say that the intrusion did not obtain business-critical information.
