One of the world’s largest chip and graphics card manufacturers. nvidia, suffered a major data leak last week.
The attackers, who gained access to Nvidia’s system, are now on the agenda with a very interesting threat after mutual shootouts.
Nvidia Faces Ethereum Threat
The hacker group Lapsus allegedly stole 1TB of data from Nvidia’s network.
The group threatening Nvidia right now, if Ethereum (ETH) threatened to reveal the data if their requests to remove the restriction on their miners were not met.
Some data about the event and future products are already leaked.

Nvidia brought an update called LHR to all its GPUs last year.
The update in question reduces their mining ability and power. This was actually seen as a step to prevent those who want to buy a card to play video games from not being able to find a video card and to solve Nvidia’s problem.
Hackers, on the other hand, announced that they will leak 1 TB of data if their requests are not met for now. All the hackers want is to uninstall the LHR update.
In a statement on the subject, Nvidia emphasized that even in the event of such an event, there will be no interruption in the service they provide to customers.
The giant graphics card manufacturer actually showed with this statement that it was not interested in the hackers’ offer. Hackers want Nvidia to bring a completely open source update, but this could be a huge step.
Hackers gave Nvidia until this Friday, and the data that hackers will leak on Friday may cause a serious decline in Nvidia shares. If Nvidia accepts the offer, it will be in the interest of ETH mining.
