We know that Lapsus$ attacked NVIDIA recently and there was apparently a bizarre, almost amateurish, demand for the graphics card goliath to remove limiters holding back cryptocurrency mining operations rather than cash. Instead, it seems, Lapsus$ is sat firmly on the data extortion side of the criminal fence. While it is thought that Lapsus$ followed the typical post-ransomware threat model of requiring money to prevent publication of confidential exfiltrated data, it is far from clear whether any ransomware, in the broadly accepted sense, was used. It wasn't until the following year, however, that a breach of the health ministry in Brazil was claimed by the group.

Until then, though, what I can say is that Lapsus$ has struck some big names since it was picked up by research radar in 2020. You can catch up on that investigation at the weekend when my story will be published. Something I hope to be able to rectify as I'm currently investigating the cybercriminal gang with the help of leading threat intelligence experts. Truth be told, not a huge amount is known about the Lapsus$ Group right now. I have reached out to Samsung and will update this article when I have anything further to report. It also said that, as of March 7 at least, Samsung did not "anticipate any impact to our business or customers," and concluded that the smartphone giant had put measures in place to prevent any further incidents such as this.

"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," the statement confirmed. Confirmation of the hack finally came, by way of a statement issued to Bloomberg, on March 7.
