Samsung Pay’s security meets requirements of test procedure in all tested aspects
Recently, Samsung mobile payment solution Samsung Pay 500 scored 450 in a security test conducted by Umlaut, part of Accenture. With this number of points, the app ends up in the “Very Good” category on the Umlot rating scale.
Samsung Pay app meets all the requirements of the test procedure in all tested aspects. The app is designed in four areas – data traffic protection between smartphone and bank, compliance with secure programming standards, data security on Galaxy smartphones, and protection against malicious attacks by third parties.
The Secure Programming Standards Review tested whether the Samsung Pay app was released without debugging capabilities, used up-to-date third-party libraries without any known security vulnerabilities, and was sensitive to the app’s source code.
As per the data security check, testers test the secure storage of sensitive data in-app memory or smartphone external memory. Checked whether this data can be accessed by third parties through logs, screenshots, cache, and backup or system features. Also, check if the app needs problematic approval.
Additionally, the app has been checked for protection against so-called simulation attacks. These are malicious attacks, in which the user is mistaken for a trusted sender, for instance by copying the contents of the app.
In all testing aspects, the Samsung Pay app meets the requirements of the testing process. Among other things, it is not possible to install apps on a rooted smartphone. The app does not even require unnecessary permissions.
Umlaut is an independent, global management consultancy with extensive experience testing and validating complex products. Umlaut has been part of Accenture since the end of 2021.

WhatsApp for Android is rolling out a new beta update, which enhances user interaction with status updates by developing a new reaction notification feature. Users can identify the new beta update through version 2.24.9.29 on Android devices.
Previously, WhatsApp had been working on a quick reaction feature. The latest beta version goes a step further by providing an option to turn off notifications for ‘Like reactions.’ This means users can choose not to be notified every time someone reacts to their status, which could be particularly useful for those who receive many reactions.
This feature is beneficial as it allows users to reduce disruptions by preventing their notification panel from being cluttered with WhatsApp reaction notifications. But for those who prefer to view reactions at their convenience, this update will allow them to do so without the constant alerts.
Moreover, WhatsApp aims to enhance users’ control over their notifications and let them decide how they want to engage with status updates. This update is still under development, so stay tuned more details will be shared as they become available.
