Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, iqembu labaphangi be-LAPSUS$ belilokhu liba sematheni ku-inthanethi, futhi kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi esikhathini esingeside esidlule, leli qembu likwazile ukukhipha ulwazi oluyimfihlo ezinkampanini ezimbili ezinkulu, enye yazo iNvidia kanye nenye i-Samsung.
Ngokwengxenye yokuhlasela abakwenze kuNvidia, iqembu labaduni i-LAPSUS$ lifune ukuthi inkampani izibophezele ukuvula abashayeli bemithombo, uma bengafuni ukuthi baputshuze imininingwane abayitholile.
Ngenkathi ngasohlangothini lwe-Samsung, leli qembu lithole ikhodi yomthombo yemikhiqizo ehlukahlukene yenkampani, okuhlanganisa izilayishi ze-boot, izindlela zokuqinisekisa nokuhlonza, amaseva okuqalisa.
Futhi manje umgomo omusha weqembu lama-hacker kwakungu-Ubisoft (omunye wabashicileli bemidlalo yevidiyo abakhulu eYurophu. Umnikazi wemidlalo efana ne-Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Watch Dogs kanye nolunye uchungechunge) ebhekene "nesigameko sokuphepha kwe-inthanethi" ngesonto eledlule esaphazamisa okwesikhashana imidlalo ethile, izinhlelo kanye nezinsizakalo.
I-Ubisoft ayishongo ukuthi ubani obangela lokhu kuhlasela, kodwa ngoLwesihlanu ebusuku, iqembu elalikade ligqekeze i-Nvidia ne-Samsung lathi linecala.
Ngeviki eledlule, i-Ubisoft ihlangabezane nesigameko sokuvikeleka ku-inthanethi esibangele ukuphazamiseka kwesikhashana kweminye yemidlalo yethu, amasistimu, namasevisi. Amathimba ethu e-IT asebenzisana nochwepheshe bezinkampani zangaphandle abaphambili ukuze baphenye lolu daba. Njengesinyathelo sokuzivikela, siqale ukusetha kabusha iphasiwedi yenkampani yonke. Ukwengeza, singaqinisekisa ukuthi yonke imidlalo yethu namasevisi asebenza ngokujwayelekile nokuthi, ngalesi sikhathi, abukho ubufakazi bokuthi ulwazi lomuntu siqu lomdlali lufinyelelwe noma lwadalulwa ngenxa yalesi sigameko.
NgoLwesihlanu, esiteshini seTelegram okuthiwa siqhutshwa yi-LAPSUS$, leli qembu lithumele umlayezo lapho ngokusobala lalifuna icala ngesigameko sase-Ubisoft. Liphendula umlayezo ovela kumsebenzisi esiteshini, iqembu liqinisekise ukuthi imininingwane yekhasimende le-Ubisoft bekungelona inhloso yokuhlaselwa.
I-Ubisoft ithi idatha yomuntu siqu yabadlali iphephile , uma nje kungekho bufakazi bokuthi kukhona okwazile ukuyifinyelela. Le nkampani ithi imidlalo nezinsizakalo manje "zisebenza kahle." Ngenxa yezizathu zokuphepha, inkampani iphinde "yaqala ukusetha kabusha iphasiwedi yawo wonke ama-akhawunti enkampani."
Ubisoft uthe ngoLwesine lolu daba luzoxazululwa ngosizo lochwepheshe bangaphandle, njengoba ithimba le-IT lika-Ubisoft lisebenzisana nochwepheshe ukuze baphenye ngesigameko esenzeke ngesonto eledlule.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi kuma-hacks angaphambilini , lawo e-Nvidia kanye ne-Samsung, ama-hacker enza inani elikhulu ledatha litholakale, futhi kucatshangwa ukuthi leli qembu lisebenzisa i-ransomware ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izinhlelo zezisulu zabo zintshontshiwe, futhi kuphela uma sekukhokhiwe imali eningi lapho bezophinde baveze leyo datha futhi.
Yebo kuhlale kubuzwa ukuthi ngabe kunjalo ngempela yini ngoba phambilini bekunezinkampani ezikwazile ukuxazulula le nkinga kanjalo nezinkampani ama-data azo agcine ephelela emgwaqeni. UNvidia naye akazange asho lutho nge-ransomware: kuphela ukuthi abaduni bebengaphakathi futhi baputshuze idatha.
I-Ubisoft kungenzeka ukuthi ayisona isisulu sokugcina segagasi lobugebengu elivele lithinte iNvidia ne-Samsung, futhi ngenxa yalokho , inkampani kwadingeka ithathe izinyathelo zokuqinisekisa abasebenzisi ukuthi ulwazi lwabo luphephile.
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi nokho, iLapsus$ ibibonakala inamahloni ngo-Ubisoft ngoba iqembu alizange lijahe ukuthatha isikhundla njengoba lenza ngokuhlaselwa kwe-Nvidia ne-Samsung, nakuba okwenziwa leli qembu labaduni ukuthi nabo lenze okukhulu. inani ledatha etholakala ngamanethiwekhi ontanga kuya kontanga.
Okokugcina, uma unesithakazelo sokufunda okwengeziwe, ungabheka imininingwane yencwadi yokuqala kusixhumanisi esilandelayo.
