A hacking group has hit Microsoft's DevOps repositories and posted the sourcecode for Cortana and other projects.
A hacking group has hit Microsoft, getting into Azure DevOps source code repositories and leaking source code for Cortana and several other Microsoft projects. It is the latest round of attacks by the group going by the name of “LAPSUS$,” which also successfully targeted Nvidia, Ubisoft, and other large technology giants.
The newest update from the group, coming on March 22, includes the sharing of a 9GB archive, which has source code for 250 Microsoft projects. Of those, the group claims to have 90% of the source code for Bing, and 45% of the source code for Bing Maps and Cortana. This is only some of the data, with the full archive having 37GB of Microsoft source code.
As dangerous as this sounds, the hacking group LAPSUS$, isn’t typical. The group is more interested in holding the source code ransom for tech giants in order to make a profit. That’s because source code repositories could also have API keys and code signing certificates. LAPSUS$, did this with Nvidia when it stole DLSS code and demanded that the GPU maker “completely open-source [its] GPU drivers.
