According to the company, a cybersecurity breach compromised source code data related to the operation of its Galaxy devices on March 7, 2022. According to an initial analysis conducted by the company, no personal information of Samsung customers or employees was exposed.
"We were recently made aware of a security breach involving certain internal company data," Samsung stated. "We immediately strengthened our security system after learning of the incident."
Samsung has not identified the perpetrators of the breach, but Lapsus$, a hacking group that allegedly stole data from Nvidia, claimed responsibility on Friday after posting a 190GB torrent file to Telegram, according to Bloomberg.
Samsung stated that it does not expect the breach to have an impact on its business or customers, and that it has implemented preventive measures to prevent future incidents.
