Nvidia Hackers Shift to Leaking Samsung Data

From PC Mag: LAPSUS$ has been keeping busy. The hacking group, which recently leaked data stolen from Nvidia, has reportedly published what it describes as "confidential Samsung source code."

BleepingComputer reports that LAPSUS$ leaked nearly 190GB of data that's said to include source code for Trusted Applets used by the TrustZone environment, boot loaders for recent Samsung devices, and technologies associated with Samsung accounts, among other things.

LAPSUS$ claims to have leaked "confidential source code from Qualcomm," too, as well as "algorithms for all biometric unlock operations."

In a statement provided to SamMobile, Samsung confirmed a breach of "certain internal company data," which "involves some source codes relating to the operation of Galaxy devices but does not include the personal information of our consumers or employees.

"Currently, we do not anticipate any impact to our business or customers. We have implemented measures to prevent further such incidents and will continue to serve our customers without disruption," Samsung added.
