Hello all!
So I've got a Samsung S8+ and have almost always used android phones. So I've accumulated a lot of Samsung Notes which if everyone isn't familiar is a widget that lets you store notes, with the option of locking them with fingerprint security. My question is, since Samsung is an international company and alot of "Intellectual property" theft happens in China, Asia in general, etc, if important information such as passwords, banking info, intellectual property, etc is stored in these notes, is it possible for Samsung or some other source to hack into these notes and retrieve the information? Either if they are or are not fingerprint secured?
I know it's better to keep extremely sensitive info written somewhere private but sometimes I make quick notes or use it for memory with often used info, so am wondering how secure these notes truly are. Thanks in advance!
