Asus reported that one of its third party vendor experienced a data breach, which involves its phone camera technology, after a ransomware group claimed to have stolen over 1 TB of data from the company.
On December 2, 2025, the Everest ransomware group added Asus to its Tor data leak site, along with ArcSoft and Qualcomm, and claimed that it stole: “Binary segmentation modules, Source code & patches, RAM dumps & memory logs, AI models & weights, OEM internal tools & firmware, Test videos, Calibration & dual-camera data, Image datasets, Crash logs & debug reports, Evaluation & performance reports, HDR, fusion, post processing data, Test APKs, experimental apps, Scripts & automation, Small config binary calibration files”.
Asus claimed that “this incident has not impacted ASUS products, internal company systems, or user privacy”.
Asus users should still exercise caution: A weak point could become an entry point for further exploitations.
