Last week, London Police arrested seven teenagers with suspected links to the Lapsus$ hacker gang. But now, they are back in action and claim to have successfully hacked a number of companies, allegedly having Facebook and Apple data in them.
The claim was spread by this teenage hacker gang via their Telegram channel, which claims to have stolen 70GB of data from Globant, a Luxembourg-based software development company.
From the screenshots distributed on Twitter, you can see a row of folder names containing the names of big companies, such as DHL, C-Span, and French bank BNP Paribas. There are also the names Apple and Facebook, whose names appear in the "apple-health-app" folder.
The Apple and Facebook data appears to be Globant's BeHealthy software development material. The app was developed with Apple to monitor employee health-related habits using features from the Apple Watch.
Globant later acknowledged the hack in its official statement, as quoted by us from The Verge, Thursday (31/3/2022).
"Based on our current analysis, the information accessed is limited to certain source code and very limited project documentation from clients. To date we have found no evidence that other areas of our infrastructure systems or those of our clients were affected," Globant wrote in a statement. his statement.
On its own Telegram channel, Lapsus$ boasted in a message containing the stolen data that "We have returned from a vacation".
It is possible that what the "vacation" meant was the detention of seven teenagers suspected of being members of the Lapsus$ gang, who ranged in age from 16 to 21 years.
The Lapsus$ hacker syndicate claimed responsibility for the large-scale hacking experienced by tech companies, including Nvidia, Samsung, Ubisoft, Okta, and Microsoft.
The identity of the leader of the Lapsus$ group was successfully revealed thanks to some angry consumers who exposed their identity through doxing. According to a report by cybersecurity expert Brian Krebs, the leader of the syndicate bought Doxbin, a site where people can search for other people's personal information.
But the leader of the hacker group could not manage the site properly. He reportedly gave up control of the site in January, but leaked all of the Doxbin dataset to Telegram, and the Doxbin community later retaliated by leaking his identity.
