Foxconn confirmed Tuesday that a cyberattack hit several North American factories, with its Wisconsin Mount Pleasant facility halting production for a week starting May 1. Workers were told to power off computers and revert to paper timesheets. Nitrogen ransomware group claimed responsibility, posting 8 TB of stolen data covering 11 million files - allegedly including project documentation tied to Apple, Intel, Google, Dell, AMD, and Nvidia. Foxconn says production is resuming. This is the fourth ransomware attack on a Foxconn entity since 2020.
NVIDIA confirmed Friday that a third-party GeForce NOW Alliance partner based in Armenia (GFN.am) was breached. The hacker, using the ShinyHunters handle on BreachForums, claims to have stolen names, email addresses, dates of birth, membership status, and 2FA enrollment status of millions of users - and is selling the database for $100,000. NVIDIA says its own systems are unaffected and the regional partner is notifying impacted users. The actor is suspected to be a ShinyHunters impersonator rather than the original gang. The partner serves users in Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
