Security / Vulnerability Issue with Samsung devices..
Hey People,
I awoke this morning at about 6:50am, bizarrely, before my alarm was meant to wake me at 7:15am.
Reached for my Galaxy S3 to check the time, and discovered it had turned itself off in the night, even though it was on charge.
So, I turned it back on and checked the battery meter - 99%... odd.
I didn't think much of it, as this had occurred once before, and I put it down to some kind of glitch.
After making some tea and walking to the living room, I picked up my Galaxy Note 10.1, and discovered that it also had autonomously turned itself off in the night...
My Pipo M8 tablet was still on, so the only thing that I could link the turning off of two independent Samsung devices, is the Samsung account.
It is a bit concerning that someone is walking around with the ability to shut down Samsung devices.
If anyone has had a similar experience, please post below.
