The data ransomware group Lapsus$, which hacked Nvidia’s intranet a week ago, stole a huge amount of sensitive data from Samsung Electronics, according to a source.
In total, hackers stole 190 GB of confidential data, including source codes. In particular, the source code for each trusted applet (TA) installed in the Samsung TrustZone environment used for sensitive operations such as encryption and access control. It also includes implementations of algorithms for all biometric unlock operations, bootloader source code for all recent Samsung devices, Qualcomm confidential source code, Samsung activation server source code, and complete source code for the technology used to authorize and authenticate Samsung accounts, including APIs and services. If the information given is correct, the leak could cause enormous damage to the company.
The attackers divided the data into three archives and made them available in a torrent, which seems to be very popular as there are already hundreds of peers sharing the content. The ransomware group also said it would deploy more servers to increase download speeds. It is not clear if the ransomware was contacted by the ransomware against Samsung, as was the case with Nvidia.
