Was your phone affected?

is usually pretty keen on security on its devices. However, a new report claims the Korean company has shipped over 100 million devices with a major security flaw.

Thankfully, the flaw has been fixed with a security update in August 2021. A following security patch was released in October of the same year and has further addressed the problem., researchers at Tel Aviv University found that a couple of Galaxy S8, Galaxy S9, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S20, and Galaxy S21 models went to market with a security loophole. This loophole could have potentially allowed hackers to access personal information such as passwords.

It is unknown as to how many if any people were affected by the security breach which was hidden before. We do hope Samsung and other phone brands do not make such a mistake again, as nowadays people are storing pretty sensitive information on their phones, including information about banking accounts, IDs, and credit cards.
