(Reuters) – Symantec Corp, the top maker of security software, said hackers had exposed a chunk of its source code, which is essentially the blueprint for its products, potentially giving rivals some insight into the company’s technology.
The developer of the popular Norton antivirus software said the hackers stole the code from a third party and that the company’s own network had not been breached, nor had any customer information been affected.
The software maker would not confirm the claim of a group called the Lords of Dharmaraja, who said that they had obtained Symantec’s source code by hacking the Indian military.
