The chipmaker made the statement in response to an inquiry following reports that an organization called “Intelbroker” is claiming to have breached AMD’s systems on a site called “BreachForums.” The reports said the data obtained includes future AMD product details, customer databases, financial records and other sensitive information.

AMD shares fell 2.4% in New York trading Tuesday, on a day when semiconductor industry shares rallied.
