Samsung confirms hackers stole Galaxy source code
Monday, March 7, 2022 at 10:00AM Samsung has confirmed today that hackers have gotten their hands on internal company data and source code for Galaxy devices. Still, it wanted to assure employees and customers that no personal data has been taken. The company won't also name who the hackers were or whether the data stolen was related to encryption and biometrics.
Hacking group Lapsus$ claimed responsibility for the breach, sharing screenshots supposedly showing roughly 200GB of stolen data, including source code used by the company for encryption and biometric unlocking functions on Galaxy hardware. Samsung said in a statement about the breach, "According to our initial analysis, the breach involves some source code 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."
