Intel investigating after confidential data end up online

on


Intel is thoroughly investigating the breach of data earlier this year after 20 Gigabytes of confidential data end up online.The leaked data consisted of proprietary data and a source code.The data—which was publicly available on BitTorrent feeds—contains data that Intel makes available to partners and customers under NDA, a company spokeswoman said. Speaking on background, she said Intel officials don’t believe the data came from a network breach. She also said the company is still trying to determine how current the material is and that, so far, there are no signs the data includes any customer or personal information.The data was published by Tillie Kottmann, a Swiss software engineer.A quick review of the leaked material shows that it consists of confidential materials that Intel customers need to design motherboards, BIOS, or other things that work with CPUs and other chips Intel makes.The content included following things:

  • Intel ME Bringup guides + (flash) tooling + samples for various platforms
  • Kabylake (Purley Platform) BIOS Reference Code and Sample Code + Initialization code (some of it as exported git repos with full history)
  • Intel CEFDK (Consumer Electronics Firmware Development Kit (Bootloader stuff)) SOURCES

  • Intel Trace Hub + decoder files for various Intel ME versions
