Title: Automatic Sharing Of Images
Post by: LesPalenik on July 03, 2018, 01:14:14 pm: New feature by Samsung phones, they are now sending random photos to other people. Could be a problem with kompromat images or other sensitive images.

Samsung’s smartphones may not be randomly bursting into flames now, but a strange and creepy new problem has appeared: some users are having photos randomly and quietly sent to other people.

Even an innocent shot of your beloved pussy cat could trigger the sending action. Same for beaver images.
