Foxconn Confirms Cyberattack as Nitrogen Ransomware Claims 8TB Data Theft

Foxconn experienced IT disruptions at multiple North American facilities that the Nitrogen ransomware group has claimed responsibility for, alleging roughly 8 TB of exfiltrated data and publication of sample files; Foxconn says it activated emergency response measures and is restoring operations but has not confirmed data theft, encryption, or ransom demands. Researchers link Nitrogen to a Conti-derived ransomware builder, and the incident raises supply-chain and manufacturing-sector concerns given Foxconn's role as a major contract electronics manufacturer.
