The Lapsus$ ransomware group has attacked Samsung Electronics, and leaked 190 GB of data — including the source code of bootloaders, activation servers, and trusted applets.
The Lapsus$ gang is believed to be mainly from Latin America, and has a flair for Portuguese-speaking targets. This newest attack comes after the group already compromised Nvidia last week, where they stole 1 TB of data, leaking the credentials of over 70,000 users as well as other documents, including two old digital signing certificates — which have since been used to digitally sign new malware.
Acronis Cyber Protect stops Lapsus$ and other ransomware with its included Active Protection, identifying even never-before-seen threats through advanced behavioral analysis and stopping them before they can harm your systems or data.
