NVIDIA Data Breach

What happened

In February 2022, microchip company NVIDIA suffered a data breach that exposed employee credentials and proprietary code. Impacted data included over 70k employee email addresses and NTLM password hashes, many of which were subsequently cracked and circulated within the hacking community.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your NVIDIA password immediately, and update it anywhere you reused the same password.
• Enable two-factor authentication on the affected account and on your critical services (email, banking).
• Watch for targeted phishing emails referencing NVIDIA — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Check whether your email address appears in this breach on haveibeenpwned.com.
