NVIDIA hackers reportedly have obtained 190GB of sensitive data from Samsung
Sunday, March 6, 2022 at 12:58AM One-hundred ninety gigabytes of Samsung's confidential data might have been reportedly leaked due to a suspected cyberattack. On Friday, South American hacking group Lapsus$, the same group who claimed responsibility for a recent NVIDIA data breach, uploaded a trove of data it claims came from Samsung. It reportedly contains bootloader source code for all of the company's recent devices, including code related to highly-sensitive features like on-device encryption and biometric authentication. It also supposedly includes confidential data from Qualcomm.
Samsung says it is assessing the situation. The hacker group hasn't made any demands from the company, unlike the NVIDIA breach. Lapsus$ demanded that NVIDIA open source its drivers and remove the cryptocurrency mining limiter from its RTX 30-series GPUs.
