News of the potential breach was first reported earlier this month, with a hacking που ονομάζεται Lapsus$ να αναλαμβάνει την ευθύνη. Η ομάδα, η οποία παραβίασε και τη Nvidia, μοιράστηκε στιγμιότυπα s purportedly showing around 200GB of stolen data, including source code used by Samsung for encryption and biometric unlocking features on Galaxy hardware.

In a statement today, Samsung did not confirm or deny the identity of the hackers, nor whether or not they had stolen data on encryption and biometrics. However, the company said that no personal data belonging to either employees or customers was received.

We read in the company statements at Bloomberg News and SamMobile:

"There was a security breach in relation to certain internal data of the company. According to our initial analysis, the breach includes a source code related to the operation of Galaxy devices, but does not include the personal information of our consumers or employees. At present, we do not expect any impact on our business or our customers. We have implemented measures to prevent further such incidents and we will continue to serve our customers without interruption ".

In the case of the recent one of Nvidia, hacker group Lapsus$ attempted to blackmail the company, threatening to leak data online unless Nvidia removed cryptocurrency mining restrictors from some GPUs and made the drivers for these open source graphics cards.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
