Microsoft could be the latest victim of prolific hacking gang Lapsus$, with the tech giant investigating claims that the group has stolen data from its Azure cloud platform. Lapsus$ has been targeting the biggest names in tech recently, with Samsung and Nvidia among the companies breached. This came days after a post by Lapsus$ aiming to recruit employees from large companies – including Microsoft – to provide it with data.

Lapsus$ posted a screenshot of alleged internal Azure source code repositories to a chat on Telegram on Sunday, indicating they had hacked Microsoft’s Azure DevOps server. A screenshot appears to show an Azure DevOps repository containing source code for Microsoft’s virtual assistant Cortana and several projects relating to its Bing search engine. The post was taken down minutes later and replaced with the message, “deleted for now, will repost later”.
