Although consoleit hasn’t been released yet, but the fact is that there are annoying and irresponsible people who want to steal one of the important components of console Xbox Series X.
Yes, so as reported by GameRant, it is revealed that the source code (source code) of the graphics processor (GPU) consoleit was stolen successfully hacking by an unknown person.
And the thief is asking for a ransom of $100 million or around Rp. 1.6 trillion more WOW. If, for example, hacker can’t get the amount of money, he threatens to upload the codes automatically on line.
Response From AMD
Seeing this no-nonsense case, the GPU provider, AMD, recently gave a statement.
According to them, they are very aware that the hacker own files addition source code which he managed to steal and have never been made public at all.
However, at the same time they were also not too worried. Because what he stole wasn’t source code very important point. So even if they want to access his IP further, he won’t know source code the main thing is.
However, AMD strongly condemns this action and is currently working closely with the authorities to immediately reduce this case until it is completely resolved.
Any Intention To Sell?
Even though the motive hacker It’s clear, for some reason I feel this at the same time, it’s like he has an intention to sell too source codeher illegally in a dark web.
And of course if it is sold in that “dead” place, he will get a super profit hefty. But yeah, this is all just my speculation. But still what do you do? hacker This is completely intolerable and completely illegal.
In fact, it could threaten the business continuity of both Microsoft and AMD itself. But it’s always been a theft case hardware or code from console or a new computer variant does exist. And it is certain that cases like this will continue to exist.
What can be done now, is for Microsoft, AMD, or the providers hardwareto tighten the security even more. Now, what do you think about this news?
