Hackers might have infiltrated Microsoft

Posted by: poisoN in News (Rumors)     Tags: Hackers Microsoft might have
The same hacker group that walked away with over a terabyte of Nvidia's most secure data has once again reared its head. This time it's Microsoft that may have been hacked, although not nearly to the same extent as Nvidia.

BleepingComputer reports a new file has appeared online that contains 37GB of source code from over 250 projects within Microsoft. The source code is said to be for Microsoft's search engine Bing and AI assistant Cortana, as well as several other internal projects.

Unzipping the file reveals 90% of Bing's source code and 45% of Cortana's as well as Bing Maps, mobile apps, and Microsoft's web-based infrastructure. The file is also said to contain the emails and documentation from internal Microsoft engineers. Lapsus has claimed responsibility for the hack.

A Microsoft spokesperson told Engadget, "We are aware of the claims and are investigating."

According to the Wall Street Journal, Lapsus has also claimed responsibility for a hack into security company Okta. Rather than targeting Okta itself, the group said it was attempting to access data related to Okta's customers, which include Cloudflare, Grubhub, Peloton, Sonos, T-Mobile, and Yahoo. Okta has confirmed there was an "attempt to compromise the account of a third party customer support engineer working for one of our subprocessors" in late January but hasn't indicated what information might have been compromised.

Several weeks ago, Lapsus said it had made off with over a terabyte of internal data from Nvidia, including the source for DLSS, security certificates for its drivers, and also the private information of over 70,000 current and former employees. The group then demanded Nvidia make its driver info public, but when Nvidia refused, the hacker group released its data on the dark web so that other hackers could make illicit drivers containing malware.

The group also claimed responsibility for hacking Samsung and taking almost 200 GB of data, including source code, biometric info, and trusted applets code.
