Introducing the 13th Gen Raptor Lake processors in the past weeks, Intel is facing a major data leak. The source codes of the 12th Generation Alder Lake desktop processors were shared on the 4chan platform, where anonymous users are present.

Contains important information such as BIOS data

Reportedly, the files published on GitHub about eight days ago and currently shared online contain important information about the BIOS and chipset details of Raptor Lake processors. One of the documents included in the leak refers to the Lenovo Feature Tag Test Information. However, it is not yet clear whether the 2.8GB data leak, including the source code, was caused by Intel or an OEM manufacturer such as Lenovo.

So far, no announcements have been made that sensitive data has been leaked, such as the Trusted Platform Module source code, which could be a much bigger problem for Intel. On the other hand, if the leak proves to be real, we can say that sensitive and important details that need to be kept within the company by Intel engineers may come to light.
