On March 8, computer manufacturer Acer confirmed that someone had hacked into one of its servers and sold 160GB of data online claiming to be Acer's confidential information.
"We recently became aware of an incident of unauthorized access to our service technician documentation server," an Acer spokesman said Tuesday. "Our investigation is ongoing, but there is no indication that any consumer data was stored on the server. "
According to a post on the cybercrime forum Breach Forums on Monday by a hacker who goes by the pseudonym Kerne lware, the "various confidential information" stolen from Acer totaled 160GB, including 655 directories and 2,869 files.
The materials Kernelware claims to have stolen include confidential slides and presentations, employee technical manuals, Windows image format files, binary files, back-end infrastructure data, confidential product documentation, replacement digital product keys, ISO files, Windows system deployment image files, BIOS components and ROM files.
"Honestly, there's so much stuff in it that it would take me days to read all the leaks haha," Kernelware boasted.
Kernelware says it only accepts Monero as payment and only sells through middlemen, telling potential buyers to make offers through private messages.
