Uber Technologies Inc. confirmed on Monday that it was a victim of the Lapsus$ group. Cisco Systems announced last month that it had been hacked, most likely by a hacker.

Hackers broke into the networks of Nvidia Corp., Microsoft Corp., Samsung Electronics, and others during a month-long rampage in March.
