Samsung is notifying some users of a data breach in which personal information such as birthdays, contact information, and more users were stolen. The data of Samsung users in the United States was compromised in the July breach. In an email, the company stated that an unauthorised third party obtained information from some of Samsung US systems.
"In late July 2022, an unauthorised third party obtained information from some of Samsung's systems in the United States." We discovered that certain customers personal data had been accessed on or around August 4, 2022, as a result of our ongoing investigation. "We have taken steps to secure the affected systems, have engaged a leading outside cybersecurity firm, and are coordinating with law enforcement," according to the company FAQ page. Samsung, on the other hand, stated that the breach did not affect Social Security numbers or credit or debit card numbers.
Personal information such as name, contact and demographic information, date of birth, and product registration information were stolen from some users in the United States during a data breach in July. According to Samsung's blog, information affecting each relevant customer may differ. We are notifying customers in order to make them aware of the situation.
According to Samsung FAQ page, users must change their passwords or make specific changes to their devices in order to keep their accounts because "consumer devices were not affected in connection with this incident." However, the company did warn users to be wary of any unsolicited communications that request personal information or direct them to a web page that requests personal information. Users were also advised not to click on suspicious links or attachments in suspicious emails.
"We are committed to safeguarding our customers security and privacy." We've hired top cybersecurity experts and are working with law enforcement. "We will continue to work diligently to develop and implement immediate and longer-term next steps to further enhance the security across our systems," Samsung said of the company efforts to protect users privacy and security.
