Vulnerability Samsung Accounts: manufacturer assures high data security

A few days ago it was reported of a security breach, which was responsible for ensuring that the most important login information from Samsung accounts were transmitted in plain text.Now, the manufacturer promises a high level of data security by closing the leak.

A rather unpleasant Leak there were at Samsung , because as the data such as email address and password of Samsung accounts were simply transferred in plain text. Samsung, however, now writes that despite this vulnerability absolutely no attacks were, in which these data were spying or stolen.

According to Samsung , the said data could anyway only be spied on when a new Samsung account was created. However, the manufacturer is not possible, unlike suggests is to exclude a spy of the data as a whole.

Our colleagues at heise Security, think about that: "A targeted evaluation of the NSA and GCHQ may be recorded through of the backbone network traffic can not exclude Samsung already technically."

Tips on changing the password of your own customers are Samsung not what we strongly recommend you though.
