Suspicious notification from "Find My Mobile" I just received a notification from Samsungs "Find My Mobile" service, without having triggered anything. The same thing happened to my work mate today morning.



As I almost never use my Samsung account, and never even configured this service, I assume one of the following:


Someone hijacked my Samsung account
Someone hijacked the Samsung system, affecting multiple user accounts
The responsible api call is lacking a permission check
Samsung itself did a test which went wrong


Does anyone know more about this?
Samsung probably wanted to quickly refresh their internal user locations database ;)

  Recently, a notification about “Find My Mobile 1” occurred on a limited number of Galaxy devices. This was sent unintentionally during an internal test and there is no effect on your device. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our customers. ^LF

edit: against some news, this notification was not the result of a Samsung data breach.

  Samsung has clarified that, while a data breach did happen around the same time, it's not related to the “Find my Mobile” notification. this technical error affected only Samsung's UK website and it only affected about 150 users in total.
