Samsung has revealed another another cyberattack. In contrast to an earlier intrusion that allowed hackers to access Galaxy source code, this one allowed attackers to gain some customers’ personal information. According to the business, Social Security information, credit card numbers, and debit card numbers were not accessed. The incident “may have affected information including name, contact and demographic information, date of birth and product registration information,” though. How many people might have been impacted has not been disclosed. Some clients are getting direct emails from the business through this.

Samsung claims that in late July, someone obtained illegal access to company systems. Although consumer devices were unaffected, it was discovered in early August that the attacker had stolen customer data. The business claimed to have taken precautions to secure its systems and to have hired a cybersecurity consultancy. It converses with law enforcement as well. According to what it has discovered so far in its research, Samsung stated in its FAQ that customers do not need to take any urgent action. However, it advised consumers to use cautious if they get unsolicited emails and to check their accounts for any indications of irregular activity.

Samsung stated, “We are committed to preserving our customers’ security and privacy. We will keep working hard to design and put into place both short-term and long-term next steps to significantly improve the security across all of our systems.
