Nvidia confirmed that they are investigating an incident that is suspected to be a cyber attack on their internal systems.
Previously, it was mentioned that Nvidia experienced a cyber attack that made their business inoperable for two days. The system that didn't work was Nvidia's email system and various developer tools.
It is not yet known whether any data was stolen or deleted from Nvidia's servers as a result of the cyberattack.
"We are investigating an incident. Our business and commercial activities can operate without interruption," Nvidia said in a statement.
"We are still evaluating the scope of this incident and have no additional information to share at this time," he added. According to Bloomberg, this incident at Nvidia was a minor ransomware attack.
On Saturday (26/2) morning, a dark web intelligence company called DarkTracer said a ransomware distribution syndicate called Lapsus$ claimed that they were behind the attack on Nvidia.
Lapsus$ is a ransomware syndicate that previously attacked Portugal's largest TV station. This time they leaked a data that is claimed to be an Nvidia employee password hash.
They also indicated that they had other Nvidia data such as source code and information related to the RTX GPU.
So far, there is no evidence linking the cyberattack against Nvidia with the cyberattack from Russia to Ukraine, which took place during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
If it turns out that there are companies from the United States that are the targets of cyber attacks from Russia, of course this will make things worse. The US will certainly retaliate for this kind of provocation.
"If Russia continues to carry out cyber attacks on our companies, our critical infrastructure, we are ready to retaliate," said US President Joe Biden.
