”On February 23, 2022, Nvidia became aware of a cybersecurity incident that affected IT resources. Shortly following discovering the incident, we strengthened our network, hired cybersecurity incident response experts, and notified authorities.
We have no evidence that ransomware has been deployed in the Nvidia environment or is related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. However, we are aware that the threat actor has taken employee credentials and some proprietary company information from our systems and has begun leaking it online. Our team is working to analyze that information. We do not anticipate any disruption to our business or our ability to serve our customers as a result of the incident.
Security is an ongoing process that we take very seriously at Nvidia, and we invest daily in the protection and quality of our code and products.”
Nvidia has confirmed that the violation of their data will not affect their activity, but they have also denied that it was an attack by ‘ransomware’, which was the first information to be disseminated on the Internet. We will keep you up to date with the news.
