NVIDIA Fired Back at Hackers By Encrypting Its Stolen Data & Installing Malware On Hacker Machines Vx-underground states that LAPSU$, an extortion group, operating out of South America is claiming responsibility for the cyberwar attack that infiltrated NVIDIA's servers a few days ago. It is claimed that over 1 TB of NVIDIA's proprietary data was exfiltrated however NVIDIA was quick to react and successfully managed to breach the hackers with its own response. NVIDIA Hit By Major Cyberattack That May Have 'Completely Compromised' Parts of Its Business LAPSU$ extortion group, a group operating out of South America, claim to have breached NVIDIA and exfiltrated over 1TB of proprietary data. LAPSU$ claims NVIDIA performed a hack back and states NVIDIA has successful ransomed their machines Intel and photos courtesy of @S0ufi4n3 pic.twitter.com/fXcTNqgIpW -- vx-underground (@vxunderground) February 26, 2022 The same group claims that NVIDIA performed a hack back by not only encrypting all of its data that was stolen but by attacking the hackers with ransomware. The ransomware is alleged to be installed on the private machine used by the hackers but they were able to make a backup of the files (which is currently a rumor). An $NVDA spokesman said: "We are investigating an incident. We don't have any additional information to share at this time." Via The Telegraph Once again, based on the previous report from The Telegraph, it was stated that the hackers were able to access NVIDIA's mailing server which is why the system was unresponsive over the last few days and they were also 'allegedly' able to install malware on NVIDIA's software distribution server. The only response from NVIDIA so far has been that they are currently investigating the true nature of this attack but in any case, this seems like a case of hackers getting a dose of their own. You can see pictures from the hacking group below claiming how NVIDIA are criminals for installing ransom on their machines while they were the ones who conducted the attack & stole confidential files in the first place: * fmgihftxiais9wt * fmgiiipwuae6qaa * fmgijolxiai14oo * fmgijxlxwaa98z6 News Source: Videocardz Share Tweet Submit [220215-720] Related nvidia-intel-amd-feature-image Discrete Graphics Cards From NVIDIA & AMD Saw Largest Shipments Increase Since Q2 2018 Hassan Mujtaba * Feb 24 10 nvidia-geforce-rtx-40-ada-lovelace-gpus-custom NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 'Ada Lovelace' GPUs Rumored For September Launch, Could Feature A Blazing 850W TDP Hassan Mujtaba * Feb 23 10 nvidia-geforce-rtx-30-series_official_2 NVIDIA Ampere GA103 GPU Makes Desktop Debut In GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Graphics Cards Hassan Mujtaba * Feb 23 10 file-photo-logo-of-taiwan-semiconductor-manufacturing-co-tsmc-in-hsinchu-2 TSMC Potentially Facing 3nm Yield Problems, Could Spell Problems For AMD & NVIDIA, Opportunity for Intel Usman Pirzada * Feb 22 10 nvidia-geforce-rtx-30-series_official_2 NVIDIA RTX LHR BIOS v2 Unlocker Tool Bypasses Crypto Mining Restrictions, Offering Full Performance on Ampere GPUs Hassan Mujtaba * Feb 22 10 Please enable JavaScript to view the comments.
