Lapsus proved to be quite active in April, stealing data from Samsung. 190 GB of information, no less! However, it was not primarily personal data that fell into the wrong hands, but source code for software used in product development.
Who is Lapsus?
Lapsus is a hacking group that has primarily focused on the Russian Federation for the last three years. Many of the attacks have been aimed at institutions and organizations related to Russia, including banks and media companies. There’s no way to know if Lapsus was involved in these direct assaults, but many believe they are because of their secretive nature.
