Yep. Lapsus$ strikes again. Or at least they are claiming as such. One can only wonder now if the timing of these events are coincidental, apart from the perpetrators being who they claim to be.

Samsung apparently is playing it all down, emphasizing that no customer data has been taken or compromised. But 190 gb's of source code data is another matter.

Owners of such products should probably be very concerned. That's a lot of people...:eek:

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the legal implications of any legitimate business that attempts to capitalize on stolen data, purporting it to have magically morphed into open-source data. Or could some courts or international treaties start handling such things just like receipt of stolen property? I have no idea... :confused:

The notion of "Robin Hood" as a fictional character played well in the 12th century, but probably not so well in modern times. Then again, if the real intent is an asymmetrical act of war, it would make much more sense. Where the intent is simply to devalue and destroy publicly-traded multinational corporations.

Now that the hackers have made a second move against Nvidia, I suppose we must wait for the other shoe to fall pertaining to Samsung. Clearly they aren't bluffing.
 
It could ultimately lead to it affecting people's products as, now having the source code, allows the hacking group to pore over it and search for previously unknown vulnerabilities.

Potentially, yes.

This same group who hacked Nvidia has recently released malware through anyone seeking to update their Nvidia video drivers. The process being masked as the hackers got all the source code to mimic the appearance of legitimate Nvidia software drivers.

No telling what they might do with Samsung's source code as well. It may not be the best of times to access or retain any sensitive personal information through your Galaxy smartphone if you have one.
