Xbox Series X Graphics Source Code Reportedly Stolen, Being Held for $100 Million Ransom - IGN

The Xbox Series X graphics source code has been reported stolen and held for ransom. AMD has issued a DMCA takedown notice on the infringing data.

The news arrives through a blog post on the AMD website, where the hardware company explained the situation. "We were contacted by someone who claimed to have test files related to a subset of our current and future graphics products," the statement reads.

According to a report from TorrentFreak, this stolen data was found in a hacked computer and includes source code for AMD's Big Navi and Arden GPUs. The latter is rumoured to be the Xbox Series X 12 teraflop GPU.

[Mars People]

No make it three fiddy.

 

[drewfonse]

Wtf

 

[Porsche85]

Good luck with that.

 

[Zippo]

2020 is the craziest year on record. No joke.

 

[demosthenes]

Bold move.

 

[Deleted member 23212]

Like they'd ever get that $100 million dollars, might as well have just leaked it.

 

[VitalitySensor]

So who's gonna take one for the team?

 

[____]

Who does this? Literally zero chance you'll get $100M. and 100% chance you'll be caught and imprisoned.

 

[Deleted member 5028]

This is going to be leaked online no doubt.

[modiz]

so like, what can one do with all this code? can they hack the console/new AMD GPUs? Not sure why would anyone spend 100m dollars on this.

 

[GymWolf86]

naniwhat?

 

[Alvis]

lmao

If you're gonna do that, selling it to the highest bidder via bitcoin seems like a much smarter move than straight up asking microsoft/amd for 100 fucking million dollars, they aren't getting a penny lol

They asked for too much if they were seriously trying to get ransom money.

Source code for the graphics?

Well at least it's not the source code for the teraflops.

 

[Homura]

what the hell is 2020 smoking

 

[ChaosXVI]

Absolutely absurd. Whoever it is will go to prison for a good long while.

 

[SuzanoSho]

Was reading about the whole fiasco on the AMD Reddit. Apparently some young lady tried to do it under the guise of discovering a vulnerability and wanting AMD to patch up their security. The way she went about it was so terribly bad that I honestly doubt that was her intent...

Yeah, but the title for that is nowhere near as eyecatching. Plus, a different news source was used.

I wouldn't fuck with Bill Gates' baby like that. I don't think the thief knows who they're playing with.

Better put some respect on Bill Gates name!
