Samsung fans using LastPass should know, hackers stolen cloud data
Nowadays, we use password managers instead of remembering passwords, which makes it more convenient to record passwords. There are many password manager apps and services available to help you manage sites, accounts, and other passwords on your Android smartphone, one of which is LastPass. But is the LastPass service safe for your personal data?

Following the investigation, the LastPass community announced that some source code and technical information had been stolen from the development environment and obtained credentials and keys, used to access and decrypt certain storage volumes within the cloud-based storage service.
However, LastPass says that everyone’s data is secure as long as they use a sufficiently strong master password. The hidden master password is actually a combination of two or more separately stored, 256 bits, or 32 characters that must be especially combined in order to use cryptographically generated random strings.
It is important to note that if your master password does not use on any other website, reuse it for any other thing password then it will significantly reduce the number of attempts required to guess it correctly.
For an additional security measure, the company is encouraging users to reset the master password to further enhance the security of their smartphone passwords. Therefore the password manager is not completely safe from hacking attempts, so if you are using LastPass on your Samsung Galaxy devices then follow all necessary steps to protect your data.

Samsung formed a team for a billions-of-dollars HBM supply deal with Nvidia. The company is putting efforts into winning the contract from the global artificial intelligence semiconductor giant to beat the HBM market leader SK Hynix.
According to KEDGlobal, Samsung made a task force to finalize its HBM deal with Nvidia. The team comprises about 100 excellent engineers, who have been working to improve manufacturing yields and quality with the first aim to pass Nvidia’s tests.
“Samsung aims to log a high market share by quickly increasing supply to Nvidia,” said one of the sources. “It is expected to speed up the supply from the third quarter.”
Previously, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang asked Samsung Elec to increase the yields and quality of 8-layer and 12-layer HBM3E chips for supply. It’s worth noting that HBM3E is the world’s best-performing DRAM chip for AI applications.
