There’s good news and bad news for Samsung Galaxy owners this week, after the smartphone giant confirms massive data theft
The bad news is that Samsung has now confirmed that a criminal group has, indeed, succeeded in breaching security and stolen code that relates to the operation of Galaxy smartphone devices. The good news is that customer data does not appear to have been breached and Samsung says it is not anticipating any impact to either its business or its customers. That the 190GB of confidential code that appears to have been stolen includes, the cybercriminal group behind the incident says, Galaxy biometric authentication algorithms and bootloader source code, isn’t exactly reassuring though.
