The same group of Latino hackers that stole more than a terabyte of data from Nvidia has reared its head again. This time it is Microsoft that may have been hacked, although not to the same extent as Nvidia.
One report states that A new archive containing 37 GB of source code for more than 250 Microsoft projects has appeared on the Internet.. The source code is said to be for Microsoft’s search engine Bing and artificial intelligence assistant Cortana, as well as other internal projects.
Unzipping the file reveals 90% of Bing’s source code and 45% of Cortana’s, as well as Bing Maps, mobile apps, and web-based infrastructure. microsoft. The file is also said to contain the emails and documentation of internal Microsoft engineers. Lapsus has claimed responsibility for the hack.
A Microsoft spokesperson said: “We are aware of these claims and are investigating.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, Lapsus has also claimed responsibility for a hack on security company Okta. Instead of targeting Okta itself, the group said it was trying to access data related to Okta customers, which include Cloudflare, Grubhub, Peloton, Sonos, T-Mobile, and Yahoo.
Okta has confirmed that there was a “attempt to compromise the account of a third-party customer support engineer who works for one of our sub-processors” at the end of January, but has not indicated what information could have been compromised.
Several weeks ago, Lapsus said it had seized more than a terabyte of internal data from Nvidia, including the source of DLSS, the security certificates of its drivers, and also the private information of more than 70,000 current and former employees. The group then demanded that Nvidia make their driver information public, but when Nvidia refused, the hacker group posted their data on the deep web so that other hackers could make illicit drivers with malware.
The group also claimed responsibility for hacking into Samsung and taking nearly 200GB of data, including source code, biometric information, and the code for trusted applets.
