Samsung Says Hackers Accessed Customer Data During Year-Long Breach (techcrunch.com) 7
Samsung has admitted that hackers accessed the personal data of U.K.-based customers during a year-long breach of its systems. From a report: In a statement to TechCrunch, Samsung spokesperson Chelsea Simpson, representing the company via a third-party agency, said Samsung was "recently alerted to a security incident" that "resulted in certain contact information of some Samsung U.K. e-store customers being unlawfully obtained." Samsung declined to answer further questions about the incident, such as how many customers were affected or how hackers accessed its internal systems.
In a letter sent to affected customers, Samsung admitted that attackers exploited a vulnerability in an unnamed third-party business application to access the personal information of customers who made purchases at Samsung U.K.'s store between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020. The letter, which was shared on X (formerly Twitter), Samsung said it didn't discover the compromise until more than three years later, on November 13, 2023. Samsung told affected customers that hackers may have accessed their names, phone numbers, postal addresses, and email addresses.

Biden already knows, because none of that is secret from the NSA.
Even if the NSA weren't allowed to spy on you, they let GCHQ spy on you and just share data with them.
I mean, how much worse is it for Xi to know when Biden already knows, and he and Xi probably joked about your ED problem in their meeting anyway?

Even when the NSA is not allowed to spy on you, they do it anyway. Forgot Snowden already?

True and they get spied on by the Chinese, so just assume everyone knows everything and like, just why get all up tight about it?
