During the weekend, a group of hackers known as Lapsus was able to steal 1TB of sensitive data from Nvidia, which it has been steadily leaking ever since.

The group said these leaks will continue until its ransom demands are satisfied.

The latest leak is data from the source code of Nvidia’s DLSS 2.2. The leak is a screenshot of a file repository that contains various files, assets, and a programming guide for integrating DLSS into games.

DLSS is one of Nvidia’s most important propriety gaming technologies due to the impressive frame rate gains at the cost of very little image quality.

Although other companies won’t use the leaked information directly due to legal constraints, it is still a significant blow to Nvidia.

Previous leaks included the names of the next generation of Nvidia GPUs and details on the Hopper architectures and the ‘Blackwell’ project.

Lapsus is currently demanding that Nvidia remove its Ethereum hash rate limiter – tech to prevent large-scale crypto-mining operations.

Nvidia has not yet responded to this demand.
