A data extortion group known as RansomHouse has asserted that it has stolen upwards of 450GB of sensitive data from AMD.

Team Red has since confirmed that it launched an investigation into the matter after the situation came to light.

By providing updates over the past week via Telegram, RansomHouse stated it would soon make available for purchase tranches of data for a business that has three letters in its name, with the first letter being A. In any case, RansomHouse said that AMD relied on extremely straightforward passwords such as, well, “password,” which is one of the ways it managed to gain access to its networks.

AMD was not contacted by the group as it prefers to sell the data due to the perceived high value. It says that among the 450GB of stolen data is research and financial information. Such data is currently being analyzed so they can calculate an exact monetary value.
