Nitrogen ransomware claims 8TB Foxconn leak, cites Intel data

Nitrogen Ransomware claims massive data theft from Foxconn after the group listed the firm on its Tor data leak site on 12 March, with Foxconn confirming a cyberattack on some North American factories. According to Foxconn, the Nitrogen group claims it stole around 8TB of data, including confidential documents, instructions, projects and drawings from Intel, Apple, Google, Dell, Nvidia and many other projects, and has published a selection of stolen documents as proof.

The incident underscores ongoing risks for major manufacturers as ransomware groups continue targeting industrial systems and supply chains. Foxconn says its cybersecurity team activated its response mechanism and implemented multiple operational measures to ensure production continuity, with affected factories resuming normal production. The Nitrogen group is described as claiming responsibility for the data theft in the report.
