Dec 2 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Friday the Cyber Safety Review Board will investigate recent cyber-attacks linked to Lapsus$.
“Lapsus$ has reportedly employed techniques to bypass a range of commonly-used security controls and has successfully infiltrated a number of companies across industries and geographic areas,” the DHS said.
The hacker group, known to have several members globally, was most recently involved in a digital intrusion at ride-hailing company Uber Inc (UBER.N).
It is also known to have infiltrated systems at Nvidia Corp (NVDA.O), Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) and Okta Inc (OKTA.O), an authentication service.
The Cyber Safety Review Board is a public-private body that takes up fact-finding initiatives. It serves to review major cyber events and make concrete recommendations.
