Security breaches have become commonplace for the business world, but that hasn’t alleviated the strain they put on companies. In fact, more and more accounts are hacked every year, which makes shoring up security that much more difficult. Unfortunately, big companies aren’t immune to these kinds of attacks, as Samsung announced a pretty serious security breach, the consequences of which are yet to be known. The hack was reported earlier this month, with the hacker group Lapsus$ taking responsibility. Screenshots of a little less than 200 GB of stolen data was released by the group, which shows biometric and encryption source code used on Galaxy devices. What the group plans to do with the stolen data remains unseen. However, when the group hacked Nvidia earlier this month, the company was threatened with leaking its proprietary information. Only time will tell whether or not Samsung is at the same kind of risk. If you want to protect your own personal information from these kinds of hacks, we don’t blame you. Fortunately, tools like VPNs, password managers, and antivirus software can be a helpful tool in putting up obstacles aimed at protecting yourself online.
