The breach happened when an unauthorized third party obtained information from certain Samsung US systems. Now, the company is sharing information about that incident through its dedicated webpage.

The company investigated and declared results on August 4, that the personal information of certain customers was affected, and several actions have been taken to secure the affected systems.

Notably, this issue does not affect social security numbers or credit and debit card numbers, but it may include name, contact and demographic information, date of birth and product registration, etc. However, the information may be different for each relevant customer.

So, after the July 2022 data breach, we recommend Samsung customers keep an eye on their email inboxes. If you living in the US and wants to review your credit report under the law, you are entitled to a free credit report each year from the three major national credit reporting agencies.

Samsung will further enhance the security of systems and customers’ personal information and strive to maintain customer trust in the Samsung brand for more than 40 years by partnering with industry-leading experts.
