Electronics giant Foxconn, Apple's primary iPhone assembler, confirmed a cyberattack disrupted its North American factories. The Nitrogen ransomware group claimed responsibility on its leak site, saying it took 8 terabytes across more than 11 million files, including confidential instructions, projects and drawings from Intel, Apple, Google, Dell, and Nvidia. Foxconn hasn't confirmed ransomware or data theft either way. Its cybersecurity team implemented measures to keep production and delivery running, and it said affected factories were resuming normal production as of May 12 — without specifying when the attack occurred or which systems were compromised. None of the five named companies would comment. Nitrogen surfaced in 2023 as a loader distributing ALPHV ransomware, built its own encryptor from leaked Conti code in 2024, and steals data before encrypting systems to maximize pressure on victims. Halcyon's Cynthia Kaiser doubts the haul: recent Nitrogen claims have arrived without a working file listing, which points to a group inflating numbers to push ransoms higher. The Taiwan-based manufacturer operates factories across Mexico, Wisconsin, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, and Indiana. **Source:** [CyberScoop](https://cyberscoop.com/foxconn-cyberattack-disrupts-north-america-factories/)
