However, in the latest release, Samsung has denied this. Samsung insists it takes user information protection very seriously and will continue to keep the security protocol at the highest standards for all devices. Samsung conducted the test and found no evidence of a security breach on the device. Instead, the reason that these stars’ data was compromised was because they set the same password for multiple accounts. This is a basic mistake that many people make, leading to unfortunate consequences.

To enhance security and avoid such incidents, Samsung recommends users:

– Two-step system verification (verification via message) to ensure that Samsung Cloud account is increased security from being compromised.

– Set different passwords for each account.
