Dutch chipmaker Nexperia hacked by cyber criminals

Dutch chipmaker Nexperia hacked by cyber criminals, IT Security News, ET CISO

 

Dutch-headquartered chipmaker Nexperia was victim of a hacking attack by cyber criminals last month, the Chinese-owned company said on Friday, and was investigating the incident with the help of outside specialists.

“Nexperia has become aware that an unauthorized third party accessed certain Nexperia IT servers in March 2024,” the company said in a statement, confirming an earlier report by Dutch broadcaster RTL.

“We promptly took action and disconnected the affected systems from the Internet to contain the incident and implemented extensive mitigation.”

Nexperia is the former Standard Products division of chipmaker NXP, spun off in 2016 and acquired by China’s Wingtech in 2018. It makes basic chips, transistors and diodes.

The company said it had started an investigation with the support of third-party experts to determine the nature and scope of the incident. It did not say if it had suffered any damage or losses as a result of the hack, but RTL said the cyber criminals had published dozens of confidential documents on the dark web in a demand for ransom.

The criminals claimed to have stolen hundreds of gigabytes of confidential information, RTL said, including trade secrets, chip designs and data relating to customers including Apple, Huawei and SpaceX.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
