"Beware, this app allows hackers to get personal data," experts warn Samsung phone users

A warning has been issued to owners of Samsung Galaxy devices, urging them to check their Android phones as soon as possible.

Millions of mobile device users have been urged to make sure they have the latest version of the Galaxy App Store installed on their phones.

Experts have discovered a vulnerability within this app that could allow hackers to install software on Samsung phones without users' permission. This comes as the latest warning from security experts, as they said hackers who install this software on devices could steal personal data, such as usernames and passwords.

The threat was discovered by the NCC Group team, which notified Samsung of the vulnerability late last year.
