Now only AMD, these hackers also hack another High Profile website called "TBN - The Botting Network", A Popular forum to learn How to make Money with 96000 members was got hacked and Complete database was also leaked via Hackers Twitter Account.

Update : John - Edelman, on behalf of AMD replied that "AMD's blog site was the target of an attack on August 19th. We believe that the attackers posted less than 200 registered usernames and salted password hashes to a hacker web site. AMD uses salted password hashes, which is an industry best practice for encryption and extremely difficult to crack. We immediately took the blog site offline and changed all passwords. AMD remains committed to data security and user privacy and has launched an investigation into this matter. We expect to bring our blog site back online within the next 24 hours."
