Samsung Electronics Co disclosed on Friday that it suffered a cybersecurity breach in late July that exposed the personal information of some customers in the United States.
Customers’ social security numbers and credit card numbers were not compromised, but information such as name, contact and demographic information, date of birth, and product registration data was, according to Samsung, compromised.
It was unclear how many customers were affected at the time. Reuters’ request for comment was not immediately responded to by Samsung.
