Uber System Breach Culprits Are Likely The Ones Behind Microsoft, Nvidia And Okta Hack

Uber Technologies, Inc (NYSE:UBER) has held the Lapsus$ group responsible for its recent hack. The breach had forced Uber to shut down some internal systems temporarily.
The culprits gained access after obtaining an external contractor's account credentials.
Uber's "public facing" systems, the databases for storing "sensitive" user data, and the software code underlying its app and services were intact, the Financial Times reported.
The alleged hacker claimed access to Uber's Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) Amazon Web Services account.
The teenage hacker claimed to breach the company for fun and might leak source code "in a few months."
Lapsus$ was held responsible for the hacks of Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT), Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd (OTC:SSNLF), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA), and Okta Inc (NASDAQ: OKTA).
Researchers identified seven individual accounts associated with Lapsus$, indicating more people involved in the group's operations.
The gang was also held responsible for the recent attack on game developer Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc (NASDAQ: TTWO) Rockstar Games involving the Grand Theft Auto series leak due to strong similarities in the attacks.
Price Action: UBER shares traded lower by 0.35% at $31.38 premarket on the last check Tuesday.
