(Original title: Intel hacked, first wave of stolen chip data released in 20GB dump)

Netease Technology News, August 7 news, according to foreign media reports, a hacker published on Thursday 20GB of top-secret chip engineering data stolen from Intel. These data may bring new "zero-day vulnerabilities" to users on multiple platforms. Threat of attack.

The hacker linked to a post on Telegram, an encrypted information platform, detailing the stolen content, and attached the Mega file at the bottom. Although the content itself is harmless, they contain BIOS information and Intel proprietary technology source code that can be used to build malware.

The hacker called himself the "Intel Confidential Lake", claiming that the data has not been released anywhere, and most of the information is protected by a strict non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The data comes from anonymous sources, who hacked Intel earlier in 2020.

If hackers find a way to manipulate the code and install it on the target computer, the BIOS code of Kabylake and other processors may cause trouble for these users. Perhaps the most destructive are the tools and firmware of the Tiger Lake platform, which may lead to the proliferation of malware before the product is launched.

Currently, there is no evidence that the database has been used externally. Apple has previously announced that it intends to change the Intel processor used on the entire Mac series to the independently developed Apple Silicon within the next two years, because Intel cannot keep up with the market's demand for smaller processes, and there are obviously safety concerns.
