Samsung mistakenly sends out "Find my mobile" notification to random users

20 February 2020
The notification held a cryptic "1 1" message, but it turns out it's just an internal test and wasn't meant to reach real Galaxy owners.

                    yeah, got it to in Romania. That was very unprofessional from Samsung. It made me think someone has access to my google account and wants to locate/reset/access stuff on my phone. You can only access this feature from your computer and send your phone this kind of notifications , only if you are logged in, so I panicked a bit thinking someone has my password and started changing lots of my passwords. turns out it was a hoax. Thank you samsung for wasting 2 hours of my life and making me worried.

                        I got it too in India on S10+ Strange hope that wasn't Malware
