A substantial data breach has hit Samsung Electronics Germany with around 270,000 customer records being sold on the dark web by a criminal hacker under the alias 'GHNA.' The stolen information encompasses names, addresses, emails, order details, and internal communications from Samsung's support system. The breach was consequent to compromised login credentials at IT service provider Spectos, linked to Samsung’s German ticket system. The credentials, originating from a credential theft incident in 2021, remained unchanged for several years, which facilitated the breach.
