Security News > 2020 > June > Let's roll the 3d6 dice on today's security drama: Ah, 15, that's LG allegedly hacked, source code stolen by Maze ransomware gang

Maze ransomware masterminds claim to have stolen source code from LG after hacking into the electronics giant.

"Soon you'll be able to know how the LG company lost the source code of its products for one very big telecommunications company, working worldwide," the crooks warned in an announcement on their site this week.

Someone could use the leaked source code to hunt for security vulnerabilities in products to exploit.

It is not yet clear how the attackers were able to get into the corporate network nor which systems and source code may have been on it.

"One of the screenshots seems to consist of LG Electronics official firmware or software update releases that assist their hardware products to work more efficiently. While the other screenshot seems to list out the source code of its products."
