The person selling 'confidential information stolen from AMD' is a cybercriminal calling himself 'IntelBroker.'

Below is the sales information for 'confidential information stolen from AMD' posted by IntelBroker on a hacker forum. IntelBroker claims to have stolen AMD's 'unreleased product information,' 'spec sheets,' 'employee information,' 'customer information,' 'property files,' 'ROM,' 'source code,' 'firmware,' and 'financial information.' In addition, screenshots containing sample employee information such as 'user ID,' 'name,' 'job title,' 'phone number,' and 'email address' have also been posted.
