Her phones and tablets Samsung appear to contain some spyware that regularly communicates with servers in China.
A Publication on reddit mentions a well-known feature called Device Care and it is available on all Samsung phones and tablets.
As Samsung itself confirms, the "Storage" module of Device Care "feeds the 360", but does not provide information on what information it sends to China.
Qihoo 360 is the company that Samsung refers to, and is said to have been involved in various illegal data collection scandals.
The user who started the post on reddit states that working with such a company and accessing all the data on the device is extremely dangerous.
“The “Storage” module in your phone has full access to all your personal data (as it is part of the system) and sends this data to the government of China when required".
A closer look at Device Care's "Storage" module reveals that when launched, the feature communicates with several servers in China, although it is not yet known which data it sends.
"Unfortunately I was not able to analyze what exactly was transferred to the servers, as I had to make a man in a middle attack on my phone, which requires root access," said the researcher.
Meanwhile disabling Device Care requires root access. Samsung customers have already started posting on the official requests forum a request to remove it software Qihoo 360 by Device Care.
