Samsung partners with Hyundai and Kia to integrate SmartThings. This collaboration will pave the way for users to connect their Hyundai Motor and Kia automobiles to the Samsung SmartThings and experience a wide array of functionality.
Today, the South Korean tech giant announced its strategic technology partnership with Hyundai Motor and Kia. Their shared goal is to elevate users’ connectivity experiences by fully integrating the SmartThings with SDVs (software-defined vehicles).
Global SmartThings Find…
Following the partnership, Smartthings will be integrated with Hyundai and Kia’s next-gen infotainment system. Drivers will be able to more easily track down their cars if they are lost or stolen leveraging SmartThings Find.
Samsung, Hyundai, and Kia will expand the use of SmartThings to include in-vehicle health monitoring, pet care solutions that optimize vehicle environments for pets, as well as integration with smart apartment solutions and SDVs.
Your Galaxy phone’s Quick Panel can also be used to control air conditioning and check the remaining range from the device. Vehicles can also be added to the connected SmartThings ecosystem for effortless monitoring and control.
“Through our collaboration with Hyundai and Kia, customers will experience the convenience of SmartThings not only at home but also in their vehicles, transcending space,” said Paul Cheun, President, CTO of DX Division.

A new Necro Trojan has been stealthily infiltrating millions of Android devices through Play Store apps. Benqu’s Wuta Camera and Max Browser were confirmed to have been affected by the Android malware Trojan, putting millions of users’ data at risk.
Mod versions of WhatsApp, Spotify, and Minecraft are also suspected to have included the new Android malware Trojan. These applications are usually distributed on unofficial websites and app stores, hence, their reach can not be quantified.
Google is seemingly aware of the Trojan and the apps housing it, and it is currently investigating the issue. This kind of flaw can download and execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to subscription fraud, and route malicious traffic.
We highly recommend using apps downloaded only from Google Play or Galaxy Store. In case you’ve sideloaded any mod app, you should uninstall it immediately. Also, if you are the user of the two affected apps, uninstall is advised.
Benqu’s Wuta Camera
It has more than 10 million downloads, which contained the Necro Trojan from version 6.3.2.148 (July 18) through version 6.3.6.148 (August 20).
Max Browser
Google has now removed Max Browser from the Play Store, which had over 1 million installs. BleepingComputer reported that its latest version 1.2.0 still houses the malware.
