IT and software consultancy firm Globant has confirmed that they were breached by the Lapsus$ data extortion group, where data consisting of administrator credentials and source code was leaked by the threat actors.
As part of the leak, the hacking group released a 70GB archive of data stolen from Globant, describing it as "Some customers source code."
Among the data published by Lapsus$, there is a screenshot the group claims to be of an archived directory from Globant, containing folder names that appear to be company customers.
A third post from the gang today shared a torrent file for about 70GB of data stolen from Globant.
"In terms of legitimacy, going just by volume alone it's hard to fabricate that amount of data - however samples of the data have been cross referenced with live systems and other methods that show the leak is legitimate and very significant as far as Globant and Globant's impacted customers are concerned" - SOS Intelligence.
The Lapsus$ data extortion group has been constantly making the news due to their attacks on big technological companies, like Microsoft, Nvidia, Samsung, Okta, Ubisoft, many of them resulting in big data leaks.
