pc gamer Nvidia hackers leak employee credentials, threaten to release 'Nvidia's most closely guarded trade secrets'

Hacker group Lapsus$ has leaked the credentials of more than 71,000 Nvidia employees after the company did not acquiesce to its demands. The group stole the corporate data during a recent ransomware attack and threatened to release it if Nvidia didn't remove its cryptocurrency mining limiter (LHR) from its RTX 30-series video cards. Nvidia refused to do so, and the group has since issued another demand and claims it will release even more data if Nvidia doesn't comply.

As much as I would like Nvidia open source driver, releasing employees credential is kinda dick move and they could release user credential too in the future. It is already hard to paraphrase a good password.

Leaking user credentials, does indeed suck. Hopefully the leak does not leak out personally identifiable information that points any one at risk.
