The unusual case of the "1" notification that arrived on Samsung's phones worldwide over the past few days has already been known by many brand owners. And who is not yet familiar with the situation, should know that it will be okay warning sent in error at terminals with the app “Get my device” from Samsung.

However, with some new changes to events, from the middle Registration really show that the notification may be triggered by a security breach, and that Samsung itself is surprised that "a small number" of users could access other people's data.
Not an innocent note
Although all suggest that the gap mentioned did not affect the large number of users, it does not cease to pay attention to how it happened, what started as an anonymous and innocent event, which was mentally initiated by an "internal audit", completed something serious.
At least that's a hint statements made by a spokesman for a South Korean company in order Registration, where they explain that the error has enabled other users to access other people's data:
“A technical error has caused a small number of users to access other user information. As soon as we heard about the incident, we eliminated the possibility of logging into the store on our website until the problem was resolved. We will contact the people affected by this issue for more details. ”
On the other hand, the company guarantees to communicate with all those people * whose information may be affected as a result of this security breach.
Huh girl and I had the same experience of the Samsung push: his Note 10+ and my Galaxy Z Flip were each alerted at the notice of Get My Portable. When you touched it, it disappeared. Samsung accounts are different for each phone.
