Re-reading that story is kind of wild. I don't know how valuable what they allegedly got would be (silicon, graphics and chipset files) but the hackers accused Nvidia of 'hacking back' and encrypting their data.
Reminds me of a story I heard about Nvidia hiring a private military to guard their cards after entire shipments started getting 'lost' somewhere in asia.
I'd heard the story first hand from a guy in san jose. Never looked it up until now. This is the closest thing I could find to it. In which case it sounds like it's been debunked.
