@Icegoddess  I also have both.  They may be sending them in batches since there undoubtedly millions of affected devices.


@Kachina624 I get notices (not E-mails) on my phone that Samsung has updated their legal terms or something like that almost on a daily basis.  You would think they would just send it that way.

I got the email too. But since my credit is frozen, I'm not too concerned.

Yes I got it today & now it's messing with my Goggle log in on my Samsung tablet...have to do a two step sign in & when the code is sent it's a mix of letters & numbers but the only keyboard that will pull up is only numbers. Samsung can't help, Goggle is just recorded messages so can't talk to a person...I'm frustrated & mad. WTH.


@kitcat51,  can you do a C&P to insert the code?

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.

My BF got it.  For the life of me, I can't understand why he doesn't a security check on his credit and debit cards that emails him whenever they are used. I get a notice about any purchases over $1. 

 

He uses an unlocked Samsung smart phone thru Tracfone.

I have a Samsung cellphone. Received email today that they had security issues in July and started investigation. Advised to do a credit check or credit report. I tried to sign in to my experian account and had issues. They tried to create account and advised me to call back in 24 to 48 hours for them to try again. Totally frustrating.


I got the email and ordered all 3 credit reports via one phone call to the number listed.  It was easy.

I received an e-mail as well.  The only Samsung products I have are smart TVs.  I don't know if they are likely to be hacked or not.

I have a Samsung phone, but didn't get an email.    Is this for those burner type phones that you can buy on qvc or hsn, etc?   I have a regular phone with a carrier so maybe that's why (?).


@chickenbutt : I don't know about any others but I purchased my phone from HSN last year.

@vsm : I did the same thing and very easy after my issues with Experian.
