A hacker has stolen source code for the graphics processor in the upcoming Xbox Series X games console and is demanding a $100million ransom for the files. Computer component manufacturer AMD first confirmed the theft in a brief statement posted on their website. The company said they had initially been contacted in December by a person claiming to have'test files related to a subset of our current and future graphics products.' Part of the files include code related to AMD's Arden graphics processor, which was designed for the Xbox Series X games consoles, currently scheduled for release in the fall of 2020. The hacker also took source files for AMD's Navi 10 and Navi 21 graphics chips, which are intended for use in PCs.

While the data was somewhat anonymous, it did include usernames, locations and personal information like sexual orientation, political leanings or turn-ons, and as Motherboard explained last week it wouldn't have been difficult to reverse engineer the data set to identify individuals. At the time, OkCupid claimed the scraping the site for data violated the site's user agreement and it now appears Open Science Framework is complying with OkCupid's DMCA claim. "The repository is currently unavailable due to a DMCA claim sent by OKCupid. Kirkegaard also edits a research journal called Open Differential Psychology, where he submitted a paper based on the data, but that paper is now subject to "internal discussions." After the controversy broke, Aarhus University distanced itself from Kirkegaard, stating that the OkCupid project was not part of his student work at the university.
