Bing and Cortana source code stolen in latest Microsoft hack
Microsoft Corp. said that the hacker group Lapsus$ gained “limited access” to its systems, following a claim by the group that it obtained source code for the Bing search engine and Cortana voice assistant.
The software giant had been tracking the activities of Lapsus$ -- which it labels a “large-scale social engineering and extortion campaign” -- for several weeks and provided some details on the methods of its attacks in a blog post late Tuesday.
