One of the key things for Samsung mobiles is the amount of additional software and services installed to improve user experience. One of the things that works is "get my phone", which in the last hours has suffered a bit, to send a notification to everyone.
If you own a Samsung phone, it will happen to you and you will receive a notification of «Search My Phone». Does it mean that someone has access to my account? We tell you everything you need to know.
Samsung accidentally sent a very disturbing notification
One of the key aspects of the job «Search My Phone» Works with Samsung account. This allows us if we lose our mobile phone, it is enough to sign in with an account on our computer so we can remotely access it.
This security at the account level means that yes, we receive notification of «Search My Phone» without doing work we get frustrated. Does this mean anyone has access to my account?
In normal circumstances it may be an indication that someone has gained access to our Samsung account, but the last notification you received It is not a specific case.
Almost all international calls have received this notice, that is that our account is secure. But why this error? There are two main causes:
- Samsung posted a notice by mistake: It is highly probable, and it could mean that they just sent this notification by mistake, either in person or server configuration itself.
- Samsung has been the target of an attack: Someone may have to reach the servers to retrieve my phone and in this way send this unknown configuration.
Samsung has not yet made any statements. From Free Android we have contacted Samsung Spain to know more about the situation. We will update the article if we have any official information.
