Microprocessor maker AMD’s Web site was hacked over the weekend by someone called r00tbeer said to be part of a small enclave called r00tBeer Security Team. The bounty: 189 accounts in a database that amounted to 32kb of data. The leaked information included usernames, email addresses and salted passwords of AMD employees and public relations personnel. AMD has not issued an official statement on what happened and earlier put up a page on its blog section saying the site was down for routine maintenance
