Security incident

Sebastian4 — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 20:28:33 GMT

Hi all,

I received this email from Samsung today. I was wondering if anyone else got this email?

The email address that was used was "no-reply@m1.email.samsung.com" does anyone know if it is a legitimate email? As I haven't seen it before.

Yes, I too received the same email from that address. Feels suspicious, but that said, in the last few days I've received no end of spam claiming to be from Temu (I don't shop Temu and email address is fake) and spam calls claiming to be from various networks. Could be genuine. Not following link to NCSC though, I'll Google it. Would have thought Samsung would post on website/here.

I have received so many spam emails from Temu and I've never ever shopped with them. No spam calls yet, thankfully

These are legit. You can contact us @samsunguk if you have any queries.

It's the same email address as the other correspondence I get from Samsung
@SocietyGirl beat me to it to say it's genuine

The 'Samsung' email didn't use my name or account username, which seems suspicious/amateurish. I've logged a support request directly with Samsung for clarification of whether the message is accurate and from them. Guess we shall see!

I have only recently received this email, admit that I was somewhat suspicious with the email address.

I have had the Temu ones, no spam calls lately though.

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/samsung-hit-by-new-data-breach-impacting-uk-store-customers/

The company says that the cyberattack impacted only customers who made purchases from the Samsung UK online store between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2020.

Samsung discovered the data breach two days ago, on November 13, and determined that it was the result of a hacker exploiting a vulnerability in a third-party application the company used.

No details have been provided about the security issue leveraged in the attack or the vulnerable application that enabled the attacker to access Samsung customer's personal information.

The notification to customers says that exposed data may include names, phone numbers, postal and email addresses. The company underlines that credentials or financial information remains unaffected by the incident.

I got this email this morning to, I'm a bit upset that Samsung has allowed this to happen and that it's taken 3 years to find out about it. Shouldn't Samsung of been more vigilant with their 3rd party apps 😡
