Acer has been hacked
As you can see from the screenshot below, the amount of data stolen is 160 GB. It is stated that this high amount of data includes confidential in-house slides and presentations. In addition, personnel documents for technical support, Windows ISO files, technical manuals, software tools, product information and a large number of BIOS materials are also said to be among the stolen.
For Acer, this cyberattack in February 2023 is not the first of its kind. The company was hacked by the REvil ransomware gang in October 2021 and was threatened with leaking confidential financial documents. The REvil gang demanded a record $50 million ransom from Acer for the decryption key. Then, in October of the same year, the Acer India group was hacked by a gang known as Desorden, and thousands of customer data were stolen.
