Microsoft Corp. confirmed “limited access” by the hacker group Lapsus$ to its systems and shared its findings regarding the group, Bloomberg reports. Lapsus$ recently claimed of having stolen the source code for the Bing search engine and Cortana voice assistant. Microsoft found that Lapsus$ had compromised a single account, granting limited access. Microsoft’s cybersecurity response teams quickly engaged to remediate and prevent further activity. Lapsus$ had been expanding the geographic range of its targets and going after government organizations, tech, telecom, health-care, and crypto accounts. Lapsus$ announced their attacks on social media or promoted their intent to buy credentials from employees of target organizations. Lapsus$ had previously breached the cybersecurity defenses of NVIDIA Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.. Lapsus$ also claimed to access the system privileges of Okta Inc., which was responsible for user authentication services for thousands of corporate clients. By Anusuya Lahiri © 2021 The Epoch Times.
