The hacking group Lapsus$, known for claiming to have hacked Nvidia<\/a>, Samsung<\/a>, and more, this week claimed it has even hacked Microsoft<\/a>. The group posted a file that it claimed contains partial source code for Bing and Cortana in an archive holding nearly 37GB of data. <\/p>\n

On Tuesday evening, after investigating, Microsoft confirmed<\/a> the group that it calls DEV-0537 compromised \u201ca single account\u201d and stole parts of source code for some of its products. A blog post on its security site<\/a> says Microsoft investigators have been tracking the Lapsus$ group for weeks, and details some of the methods they\u2019ve used to compromise victims\u2019 systems. According to the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC), \u201cthe objective of DEV-0537 actors is to gain elevated access through stolen credentials that enable data theft and destructive attacks against a targeted organization, often resulting in extortion. Tactics and objectives indicate this is a cybercriminal actor motivated by theft and destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n
