Korean, actually



Samsung HQ have admitted it was indeed an error on their part, an inadvertent passing out beyond their containment area of a message that should never have been sent.



In other news, the CIA, FBI, MI5, MI6 The KGB, The Obsiadian Order, Section 31, The Tal Shiar, Mossad, The Rosicrucians, The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Judean Peoples's front ave carefully noted the whereabouts of the "persons of interest" the reportbacks from those phones have provided to their masters...

I woke up to my phone telling me someone had activated "Find my Mobile" during the night. As I was asleep at the time, it was not me. Samsung have said a test went wrong. :shock:

I think it was not a test. They geo-located all their phones and that information will be useful to them for what purpose?

Well, any purpose, but it all looks like a breach of privacy (as if we had any) which is probably an illusion.

I'm sure the Chinese Government will be involved somewhere!  :shock:
