According to the latest information, hackers stole 1TB of NVIDIA data. The hacking organization LAPSUS$ also threatened Nvidia accordingly, putting forward a number of puzzling demands, such as requiring Nvidia to drive complete open source, such a lofty requirement that people think that hackers are doing good, but Nvidia can not meet this requirement.
According to foreign media reports on February 25, the US chip manufacturer NVIDIA (NVIDIA) suffered a major cyber attack, the internal network has been infiltrated by hackers, and the ransomware virus has locked Nvidia's corporate email service. Nvidia then confirmed that it had been hacked.
However, NVIDIA spokesman Hector Marinez said the attack did not affect any of the company's business activities or services, and no further details were available until the full scale and damage of the attack were investigated.
However, according to the latest information, the hackers stole 1TB of NVIDIA's data. The hacking organization LAPSUS$ also threatened Nvidia accordingly, putting forward a number of puzzling demands, such as requiring Nvidia to drive complete open source, such a lofty requirement that people think that hackers are doing good, but Nvidia can not meet this requirement.
Previously, the hacking group said that if Intel does not open source the driver, they will release a bombshell this Friday to disclose all the complete chip design, graphics technology, and computing technology data of NVIDIA GPUs in recent years, including the RTX 3090Ti, which has not yet been officially released, and future plans.
However, now hackers have begun to sell Nvidia's technical source code, and now the LHR source code is released, and the asking price is as low as $1 million.
Nvidia's LHR technology can reduce the mining performance of RTX 30 series graphics cards, especially ETH Ethereum hashrate by 50%, if there is LHR source code now, theoretically can make the RTX 30 LHR graphics card computing power back to full blood, miners should be very interested.
But now the timing is not coincidental, the ETH price has recently fallen a lot, even if miners spend $1 million to buy the source code to crack the graphics card limit, it is estimated that it is difficult to return the cost before ETH 2.0, this business is difficult to do.
