Budget Samsung phones shipped with unremovable spyware

Budget Samsung phones shipped with unremovable spyware, say researchers www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news… A controversy over data-gathering software secretly installed on Samsung phones has erupted again after a new accusatory post appeared on X last week. In the post on the social media site, cybersecurity newsletter International Cyber Digest warned about a secretive application called AppCloud that Samsung had allegedly put on its phones. This all harks back to May, when digital rights group SMEX published an open letter to Samsung. It accused the company of installing AppCloud on its Galaxy A and M series devices, although stopped short of calling it spyware, opting for the slightly more diplomatic “bloatware.”
