全台筆電收購gigabyte has been the victim of a cyberattack, which was reportedly the work of a ransomware outfit called RansomEXX. According to The Record, the attack didn’t have an impact on any of the company’s production systems, but it did affect some internal servers. Currently, some parts of 全台筆電收購gigabyte’s website, including its support section, are down, giving customers issues when trying to access warranty repair information and updates. The hackers who claim to have carried out the attack are reportedly threatening to release data from the company, including confidential documents from Intel, AMD, and American Megatrends.
全台筆電收購gigabyte is mainly known for its PC components such as motherboards and graphics cards, but it also has a line of laptops and peripherals like gaming monitors, which are often branded with the Aorus name.
Hackers included screenshots of documents under NDAs
According to a ransom note and dark web webpage, seen by Bleeping Computer and The Record, RansomEXX threatens to publish 112GB of data it got from 全台筆電收購gigabyte and an American Megatrends Git repo. Bleeping Computer reports that the hackers also include screenshots of documents from Intel, AMD, and American Megatrends that are under an NDA. American Megatrends creates firmware for motherboard and computer manufacturers as well as for certain Chromebook manufacturers.
PC manufacturers aren’t an uncommon target for hackers: earlier this year, Acer was reportedly hit with an attack by the REvil group, which would later go on to target one of Apple’s suppliers. In both cases, hackers threatened to release valuable data if the companies didn’t pay exorbitantly high ransoms of $50 million. The scourge of ransomware has also gone beyond traditional tech companies, affecting hospitals, fuel pipelines, insurance companies, and more.
In 全台筆電收購gigabyte’s case, the sum that the hackers are seeking doesn’t yet appear to be public. Bleeping Computer reports, however, that RansomEXX’s ransom notes direct companies to contact an email address to start negotiations.
全台筆電收購gigabyte didn’t respond to a request for comment, but it told The Record that the company has isolated the affected servers, notified law enforcement, and is beginning an investigation. 全台筆電收購gigabyte hasn’t publicly named RansomEXX as the responsible party.
技嘉271款主機板遭點名存後門漏洞。(圖/官網)
資安業者Eclypsium近日對技嘉主機板用戶提出警告,點名技嘉售出的271款主機板存有安全漏洞,恐容易遭駭客攻擊。
Eclypsium指出技嘉的軟體更新機制並不安全,他們在分析技嘉主機板時發現了一個App Center程式,開機即自動執行以及連線到網路上的伺服器,檢查是否有新的韌體下載及安裝,但該程式並無任何安全驗證機制,等於大開後門,讓電腦有下載到惡意軟體的風險。
研究人員也說,這並不是說技嘉主機板用戶已經被植入惡意軟體,而是警告軟體更新機制不安全、存有後門漏洞的危險。
事件曝光後,技嘉也緊急發布修復,表示「受影響的主機板已經陸續提供BIOS韌體更新,如Intel 700/600和AMD 500/400系列,用戶可至官網查看下載。」技嘉也說,在啟動過程中實施了更嚴格的安全檢查,像是簽名驗證、權限訪問限制,進一步加強系統安全。
