A massive amount of data purportedly from Samsung Electronics has been exposed online, reports BleepingComputer.
The breach comes shortly after the one from NVIDIA and comes from the very same team responsible for that attack, Lapsus$. The group hinted about revealing Samsung data with a screenshot of C/C++ instructions in Samsung software in a message issued earlier today. The source code for the bootloader on all contemporary Samsung smartphones would be posted and shared as well as source code for the technology used to authorize and authenticate Samsung accounts, including APIs and services.
Currently, 190GB of plausible Samsung data has leaked. Samsung has yet to respond.

That's exactly the sort of attitude that leads to such intrusions. Sure, sometimes companies get hacked due to poor security decisions but often time it's through social engineering or procedure weakness. In fact I would wager that when large entities get hit that is often times the case. But at the end of the day it all happens for a multitude of reasons and THAT'S why it can be difficult to prevent because there are many links in the chain. I would go so far as to say that overall diligence is more important than being the smartest security guy.
Just my take on it.

People love entering locked places either by unlocking the locks .... Making duplicate keys or tricking people by allowing em in.... Or by bypassing the locks. And they will love to do that till the end of times it will always be the cat and mouse game. The reasons vary too a)because they can b) they like the challenge c) they have something to gain from it

I wonder how much of that data needed to be outside air gapped security.
When it doesnt need to be accessible via network, hide it.
My point is, theres no guarantee of security on a network, safer working practices should be used if possible.
ie when network access will be needed, use a none automated network connection that is physically broken when not in use.
And those systems accessing it should be air gapped from the internet while in process.
The systems inside the boundary will alert when a connection is live so an accident is unlikely.
This could get complex quickly so new working practices will be required.
All other data should never be accessible on a network.
