Acer has confirmed someone broke into one of its servers after a miscreant put up for sale a 160GB database of what’s claimed to be the Taiwanese PC maker’s confidential information.<\/p>\n

“We have recently detected an incident of unauthorized access to one of our document servers for repair technicians,” an Acer spokesperson told The Register<\/em> on Tuesday. “While our investigation is ongoing, there is currently no indication that any consumer data was stored on that server.”<\/p>\n

According to a Monday post on cyber crime hangout BreachForums by a rapscallion going by the name Kernelware, the “various confidential stuff” allegedly stolen<\/a> from Acer totals 160GB, including 655 directories and 2,869 files.<\/p>\n

Kernelware claimed the stolen goods included confidential slides and presentations, staff technical manuals, Windows Imaging Format files, binaries, backend infrastructure data, confidential product documents, Replacement Digital Product Keys, ISO files, Windows System Deployment Image files, BIOS components, and ROM files.<\/p>\n

“Honestly, there’s so much shit that it’ll take me days to go through the list of what was breached lol,” Kernelware bragged. <\/p>\n
