The personal information of our consumers or employees was not affected by the hack, and it does not anticipate any impact to our business or customers.
Measures have been put in place to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
South American hacking group LAPSUS$ claimed responsibility several days ago, but the company made no mention of it.
The group, which hit the headlines earlier this month after it hacked chip giant Nvidia, posted online a 190GB torrent file that is said to contain confidential source code for the devices.
The hackers posted confidential data from the company on the internet when they failed to meet demands. It is not clear if the appearance of data on the internet is due to the Korean company failing to comply with the demands of the hackers. We will update this article when we hear back from Digital Trends.
