AMD Blog Site Hacked

Advanced Micro Devices is the latest major company to be victimized by hackers, shutting down its blog site Aug. 19 after a group calling itself r00tbeer apparently defaced the site and stole a database containing information of AMD staff.

The attackers reportedly announced the hack on its Twitter account after putting their logo and a link to the Twitter account on the site.

The chip maker has since shut down the site, initially saying it was being taken offline for “routine maintenance,” then posting a message that said its blog site “is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience. This area will be back online as soon as possible.”
