GoKawiilNVIDIA has confirmed in a statement for BleepingComputer that GeForce NOW user information has been exposed in a data breach.
The gaming and hardware giant has clarified that the impact is limited to Armenia, and was caused by a compromise of the infrastructure operated by a regional partner.
The company added that its own network was not impacted by the incident.
“Our investigation found no impact on NVIDIA-operated services. The issue is limited to systems run by a third-party GeForce NOW Alliance partner based in Armenia. We are working closely with the partner to support their investigation and resolution. Impacted users will be notified by GFN.am,” the company said.
The statement comes in response to a post last week on a hacker forum from a threat actor using the ShinyHunters nickname, claiming to have breached the GeForce NOW service and stolen millions of user records.
According to the threat actor, the stolen information includes full names, email addresses, usernames, dates of birth, membership status, and 2FA/TOTP status.
The threat actor also posted samples of the stolen data and offered the full database for $100,000 paid in Bitcoin or Monero.
