The technology company NVIDIA had a breach in its network from an extortionist group called LAPSUS$ allowing them to leak data containing a source code to NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology. They appear to have admitted responsibility of this hack and warned of leaking confidential information unless they received a fee. However, they made a change their demand for NVIDIA to “commit to completely open-source their GPU drivers for Windows, macOS, and Linux”, otherwise, they would distribute more leaks. Although NVIDIA took security measures by hardening their network and notifying law enforcement, they don’t see this incident as a major disruption to their business or serving their customers.
