Samsung Electronics Co disclosed on Friday that it suffered a cybersecurity incident in late July that exposed the personal information of some customer in the United States.

According to Samsung, social security and credit card numbers were not impacted, but names, contact, and demographic information, date of birth, and product registration information were.

It was unclear how many consumers were affected at the time. Reuters’ request for comment was not immediately responded to by Samsung.

“In late July 2022, an unauthorised third party acquired information from some of Samsung’s US systems,” the company said.

Samsung has acknowledged a data breach twice this year. The company acknowledged in March that it had had a massive data breach, during which thieves were able to take 200 gigabytes of secret source code for its bestselling Galaxy smartphone line. Lapsus, an unidentified group, claimed responsibility.
