Foxconn confirmed a cyberattack on its facilities. The company stated that affected factories are now resuming normal operations.

Consequently, the ransomware group Nitrogen claimed responsibility for the Foxconn data breach. They posted about the hack on their leak site to pressure Foxconn into paying a ransom.

The hackers reportedly stole over 11 million files, containing confidential data from Foxconn customers. Additionally, sample documents, such as schematics and bank information, were released as proof.

Furthermore, Nitrogen is known as a double-extortion group. They not only encrypt data but also exfiltrate it, threatening to leak sensitive information if their ransom demands are not met.

Foxconn has not yet provided detailed responses regarding the full scope of the Foxconn data breach. For more in-depth information, you can visit the original source at TechCrunch.
