Bleeping Computer

It seems bleeping computer is the one who is first reporting but as you can see if you go to the Gigabyte homepage. You’ll find that there homepage has been changed a little with the about us graphic being changed to this little blame the broker gif.   It is a reference to the BlackMatter that was recently been reborn from REvil and Darkmatter.  So this is definitely a sign that they have been hacked and attacked.  According to Bleleping Computers the attack was done by the RansomEXX gang but I have my own thoughts on this that it was also part of the BlackMatter group who also helped out in this hack.

Gigabyte Support

According to all sources I could find, the esupport website is currently down.  There have been reports that RansomEXX will release 112gb of data to the public that involves customers and business relationships such as Intel, AMD, and even American Megatrends.  I’ve not seen to much other than that right.   I can only imagine that all this data is NDA.   Gigabyte even confirmed this in the Chinese media outlet to have been attacked by hackers.

Customer Data

I don’t know what data the hackers actually have or what they intend to do about it.   I’ve not even heard what type of data the hackers have.   We just know that they have some serious data that is about the relationships between Gigabyte and other manufacturers that is startling to say the least and we don’t even know everything that is behind this attack.  We just know that it will be interesting to see what will happen in the coming weeks.  I’ve still seen people on twitter and other places complaining they can’t get to the esuppport websites on twitter.  Hopefully someone will talk about this in the coming weeks.  I know I want to find out what actually happened.
