Intel disclosed on Thursday that unknown threat actors stole an infographic containing info on the company's fourth-quarter and full-year 2020 financial results.
After discovering the incident and finding that the stolen info was being shared outside the company, Intel published the quarterly earnings report minutes before the market's closure.
"We are investigating reports that non-authorized access may have been obtained to one graphic in our earnings material," Intel told BleepingComputer.
Undisclosed earnings info stolen from corporate news site.
As revealed in the quarterly earnings statement published ahead of time by Intel following the newsroom hack, the company's financial results exceeded the market's predictions again.
An Intel spokesperson later told BleepingComputer that the "Information appears to come from the Intel Resource and Design Center, which hosts information for use by our customers, partners and other external parties who have registered for access."
