A hacker has stolen source code for the graphics processor in the upcoming Xbox Series X games console and is demanding a $100million ransom for the files.
Computer component manufacturer AMD first confirmed the theft in a brief statement posted on their website.
The company said they had initially been contacted in December by a person claiming to have 'test files related to a subset of our current and future graphics products.'

Stolen or pirated?
How long until AMD gets bought out by Nvidia?
Fuck you, I wasn't here for it.
>Have all your special shit on one network
>Have no buckups or have even those unsecured AND on the same network
>Can never ever prove that he hasnt copied all that shit elsewhere
Reads like an Uplink news headline
Why would the hacker charge more than a corporate spy would cost?
i have no idea how real this is because its from torrent freak but:
>The culprit behind the leak spoke with TorrentFreak, and claims to have stolen the GPU source code from a computer she hacked. “The source code was unexpectedly achieved from an unprotected computer/server through some exploits. I later found out about the files inside it. They weren’t even protected properly or even encrypted with anything, which is just sad,” she told the publication.
>In an email, the hacker also messaged PCMag and said: “I haven’t spoken about AMD about it (the breach) because I am pretty sure instead of accepting their mistake and moving on, they will try to sue me, so why not just leak it to everyone.”
>she hacked.
>she
what does tht entail?
he could release it so that people manufacture their own?
