Samsung Data Breach: Hacker Leaks Customer Data Due to Unchanged Password from 2021 Attack
Samsung has reportedly suffered a data breach, with hackers leaking customer data after exploiting an internal password that had remained unchanged for four years. This breach is believed to be linked to a previous attack in 2021, which the company failed to adequately address. The incident has raised concerns regarding Samsung's cybersecurity measures and response protocols, as the compromised password was listed in a database of previously hacked credentials. The breach highlights ongoing vulnerabilities within large corporations and the importance of maintaining robust security practices.
