An unusual event has occurred in the field of technology, after a 14-year-old Albanian boy found a problem in the operating system of Samsung phones.

14-year-old Andrea Tosku was experimenting with his Samsung phone when he noticed that a specific "mode" was open and posed a risk to hackers.

According to the boy, a hacker could enter this "mode" and easily obtain the phone's data.

Samsung has responded to the boy by fixing the error he discovered. For this, he will also be given a monetary reward.

Andrea: I was experimenting on a Samsung phone and when you experiment you go into a specific mode on these phones, but this mode wasn't closed by hackers, it was an open door.

Question: So a hacker could get in and get the phone's data?

Andrea: A hacker could have planted the hack on the computer and normally Samsung's software would have blocked this, but it didn't on this phone. I reported it on their website, I wrote them an email and they said they would investigate and after they investigated, they said they would fix it. They fixed it and now they're giving me a premium.
