So I woke up this morning to find all of my contacts from the A's to the E's had been text a link. The link was a "quickshare.samsungcloud.com" type of link. I scanned it and found nothing so when I opened the link It was a pic of my cat sitting on my footstool in front of my bookshelf. On further inspection, I noticed a few things were off in the photo. My cats marking were slightly off and he had a different collar. I am assuming the pic is AI.
This is bothering me to no end. I'm a small business owner and a lot of those contacts were business contacts who are as confused as I am. Having a business I've been hacked or there have been attempts every way imaginable but this is just weird. The photo is not mine, like its not on my phone or anything.
I changed my Samsung password this morning, restarted my phone, ran virus/spyware scans and deleted the last few apps I downloaded. My Samsung account has no suspicious activity, actually NO activity from the last time I changed the password earlier this year to now. When I click the link it lets me end sharing for the pic, so I'm assuming its my cloud account so how is it possible that nobody accessed my account, but still sent the text? The link was benign, so what was the point? And most of all how do I end whoever's access and protect myself going forward? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Good luck with the help because if it's a virus that is not being detected by the security system of knox and Google security and even Microsoft account. You have the same attack on your system as I have on mine and it seems to elude every single virus scan that has been done. This is a real problem and it seems to have no answer for it. I have delt with this harassment for years now and I can't get any help from security anywhere. Just erase everything and start again just for the virus to follow you around. Even followed me to a new address and I am just a home account. I pray for your company because it's not going away anytime soon as well as it's almost impossible to do anything online because of this attack on my family. It's unbelievable how nasty this person is to do this to you. š really I will pray for your company because I don't have any hope for our future.
