Redazione RHC : 10 December 2025 08:00

Asus announced that one of its suppliers had been hacked. Meanwhile, the Everest ransomware group claimed to have stolen a terabyte of data from three companies: Asus, Qualcomm, and ArcSoft.

According to the criminal hackers, the data leak involved not only documents, but also the source code for the smartphone’s camera software, artificial intelligence models, and internal software. Asus representatives say the issue only affected one of the company’s suppliers: the attackers managed to access part of the phone’s camera software source code.

However, the company insists that no damage was caused to its systems, products, or customer data.
