According to threads, Nvidia’s internal network has been hacked and several key systems such as email and developer tools have been down for the past few days. According to the CRN website, Nvidia is investigating the “incident” and its response to CRN’s request said: “Our business and commercial activities continue uninterrupted. We are still working on assessing the nature and scope of the event and do not have additional information at this time.”
Interestingly, documents filed by Nvidia with regulators back in October 2021 contain a warning about a possible attack on the company in the future, addressed to shareholders. At the time, the company said it was difficult to defend against attacks as they were becoming more “widespread and sophisticated.” The document goes on to say: “Our efforts to prevent and overcome these and similar problems may increase our costs and may not be successful. We may experience interruptions, delays, service interruptions and the loss of existing or potential customers.”
There is no exact information about who attacked Nvidia and for what purpose. According to some reports, a South American ransomware group called LAPSU$ is behind the hack. According to the published screenshots, as a result of the hack, the group stole about 1 TB of data from Nvidia. In response, Nvidia allegedly hacked LAPSU$ and encrypted the stolen data, but LAPSU$ kept a backup copy.
