Samsung has released a statement to the brand’s American customers explaining that a cybersecurity incident has affected the information of some of the customers of the American division of Samsungso from the beginning it is understood that the rest of the regions should not be affected by this.
Affected data includes names, demographic and contact information, dates of birth, and product registration information, Although this data may vary depending on each user, it seems that not all the stored information has been filtered, in addition to the fact that some users do not even have this data on the Samsung platform.
The company also ensures that this problem has not affected social security numbers or debit card numbersso in general we should not worry about our payment methods, but we should worry about the rest of the data that we have given to Samsung.
Finally, the statement ends with the classic corporate speeches about how much they care about their users and a FAQ, although it is not indicated that immediate action must be taken in this regard by users – beyond not trusting phishing emails – so it is intuited that user passwords are also safe.
