AMD data is allegedly for sale in a digital underground forum. This is the second data leak incident at the processor manufacturer within a few weeks.
The Dark Web Intelligence group has published the offer in the underground forum Breachforums as a screenshot on X, formerly Twitter. According to this, the criminal with the forum name IntelBroker, one of the best-known data thieves on Breachforums and its predecessor and now probably an admin of the forum, has been offering data from AMD's "internal communications" for sale since Sunday of this week.
Multiple data sources
The data would differ from that from the previous data leak. "The data appears to come from a mix of sources, such as 'idmprod.xilinx.com' and 'amdsso.okta.com'", Intelbroker writes there. This could therefore be access data and potentially product information and details as well as related Confluence data. However, the wording implies that Intelbroker may not have stolen the data itself.

AMD has not yet responded to an inquiry from heise online as to whether the breach and the authenticity of the data can be confirmed. We will update this report as soon as AMD makes a statement.
AMD had already investigated an alleged data leak in mid-June, in which data appeared in the underground forum Breachforums. The same perpetrator with the abbreviation Intelbroker was also responsible for the apparently illegal offering there. He claimed to have stolen information such as e-mail addresses, source code and future AMD products. AMD confirmed the break-in to the media a short time later: "A limited amount of information on specifications for the assembly of certain AMD products was obtained from a third-party website," the processor manufacturer explained there.
