Intel is investigating a security flaw that caused the publication of 20 GB of its internal documents, some marked as “confidential” and “restricted secret” on the Mega file-sharing site. The download was created by Swiss software engineer Tim Kottmann, who informed Twitterverse of the cache of leaked documents last night. Accidentally sharing the knowledge of primary generation corporations is something Kottmann does and has gained a sequel for it.
Kottmann continued his initial Tweet by saying that the documents had been delivered to him through an unnamed source. The source claims to have breached Intel’s security to obtain previous documents this year. According to Kottmann, the maximum number of files in the 20 GB file “has never been published anywhere before”. An extract that displays some of the shared content to illustrate the scope of the leak.
The ZDNet technique has diligently downloaded the Mega file file to reflect on the content and has necessarily demonstrated that the screenshot of the list of files I have previously incorporated is representative of the content. ZDNet also asked security researchers to verify the document cache. In short, the documents were considered original and involve technical specifications, product guides, and manuals for processors dating back to 2016. On a positive note to Intel, there does not appear to be any sensitive knowledge about exposed consumers or employees.
