Intel Israel Reportedly Hacked

[erek]

"Intel acquired the Israel-based Habana Labs in December 2019 for $2 billion, largely due to the strengths of the company's Goya and Gaudi AI accelerators. Intel left Habna as an independent business unit and pledged that it would remain in Israel. We've heard little from the company on Habana's progress until earlier this month when Amazon Web Services announced that it had made Gaudi-powered instances available to its customers.

The Pay2Key ransomware has reportedly been behind a recent spate of attacks against Israeli companies, but the full scope of the operation is unknown. We'll update as we learn more."

Pay2Key only attacks Israeli companies? That seems oddly specific.

While it is specific, I wouldn't call it odd.....certainly entities that will want to target them

Lucky for Intel it's ransomware so it's not a nation state looking for IP. Intel will pay up easily.

Possible this is part of Iran pushing back after their top nuclear scientist was assassinated as well. Ransomware has been used in the past simply as a vehicle for disruption.

10 years later, Pakistan is stuck on 14++++++++nm and can't figure out why

Maybe they got the data, maybe they didn't. I can throw out a few lines of bs code too. That's not proof of getting the data.
