Nvidia confirmed that GeForce Now user data had been compromised on Armenian servers.

News review: GeForce Now data breach affected only users from Armenia

Nvidia officially confirmed that as a result of the recent leak, client data from the GeForce Now service was exposed. According to the company, the incident is limited to users registered through the regional partner GFN.am in Armenia. The cause was an attack on this partner’s infrastructure, and Nvidia’s own servers were not compromised.

> “Our investigation showed that services operated by Nvidia were not affected. The problem is confined to the systems of the third‑party partner GeForce Now Alliance from Armenia. We are working closely with them to support the investigation and resolve the issue. Affected users will be notified through GFN.am,” said the company.

In addition, Nvidia clarified that user passwords were not stolen, and individuals who registered after March 9 remain safe.

Context and reaction

The incident became known after a post was published on a hacker forum. A user with the handle *ShinyHunters* claimed to have hacked GeForce Now and gained access to personal data of millions of customers: full names, email addresses, birth dates, etc. He posted part of the information publicly and offered to sell the entire database for $100,000 in Bitcoin or Monero.

Nvidia emphasized that users from Armenia are the only group affected by the partner’s breach and is making every effort to protect its clients.
