Today, Samsung issued a statement to the media SamMobile:

We were recently informed of a security breach related to certain company-internal data. Immediately after discovering the incident, we tightened our security systems. According to preliminary analysis, the leak involves some source code related to the operation of Galaxy devices but does not include the personal information of consumers or employees. At this time, no business or customer impact is expected, steps have been taken to prevent further occurrences of this type of incident, and customers will continue to be served.

The hacking group has publicly released 190 GB of data, but Samsung has also not confirmed how much data was stolen in total. In addition, the vulnerability contains a lot of information on how Samsung protects its devices, so despite Samsung’s official promise that personal information has not been leaked, it is best for IT home friends to change the password related to Samsung services and enable two-factor authentication.

As previously reported, the hacker group has made no mention of a ransom, nor has it indicated any type of communication with Samsung. The hacker group obtained source code for trusted applets installed in Samsung TrustZone environments, algorithms for biometric unlocking operations, bootloader source code for the latest Samsung devices, Qualcomm’s confidential source code, and more.
