Security News > 2020 > August > Hackers Dump 20GB of Intel’s Confidential Data Online

More than 20 gigabytes of proprietary data and source code from chipmaker Intel Corp. was dumped online by a third party, likely the result of a data breach from earlier this year.

The announcement of the "First 20gb release in a series of large Intel leaks" was made by user and IT consultant Tillie 1312 Kottmann #BLM on Twitter, who called the information "Intel exconfidential Lake Platform Release."

The data appears to be from the Intel Resource and Design Center, which hosts information for registered users who are typically Intel customers and partners, a spokeswoman said in the report.

Intel continues to investigate the incident, which is ongoing, as the attacker claims to have more data to release from the leak.
