Exact details about which data the hackers managed to capture is not known. It could include confidential roadmaps, blueprints for next-generation products, source code of software, or even UEFI/BIOS/TPM data/keys.
Meanwhile, a message from the hack has been published by TechPowerUP. The message confirms that it was a cyberattack that encrypts the data and the company will be forced to pay in order to decrypt it. That is unless Gigabyte stored an external copy of all files. In that case, there is no risk of losing the data, but rather that the data may be released to the public. -- VideoCardzMotherboard maker Gigabyte acknowledged the hack but claims it did not affect its daily operations. The firm is cooperating with law enforcement and security experts to handle the matter.
