Samsung top pick for retail investors after US election
Retail investors scooped up 2.33 trillion won ($1.67 billion) worth of Samsung Electronics stocks since the U.S. presidential election, the country's main bourse said on Sunday.
South Korean tech giant Samsung has inadvertently admitted that personal data of at least 150 users were leaked following the “Find My Mobile 1” notifications error.
Thousands of premium Galaxy line up owners received a strange notification and bewildered by the ‘1’ notification last week on the “Find My Mobile” app.

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

The South Korean tech giant has admitted that another glitch occurred at almost the same time, resulting in a “small number” of users that we’re able to briefly access information from other Samsung users, including names, addresses and the last four digits of their payment cards, Tech Radar reported on Tuesday quoting Sam Mobile.
Late last week, many users posted on Reddit and Twitter getting a mysterious push notification on their Samsung devices that simply read “1/1”.
The smartphone maker claims that the two issues were unrelated and that it was purely a coincidence that they occurred at around the same time. Samsung further clarified that the unintentional leak was the result of a technical error on the company’s UK website, and only affected 150 customers, the report added.
