Impact of Samsung's most recent data breach unknown.
Samsung announced on Sept. 2, 2022 its second data breach of 2022.
The company has set up a FAQ page for customers that states the initial breach was discovered in late July 2022 and that by August 4 they had determined personal data was exfiltrated from "Some of Samsung's U.S. systems." The news was made public a month later on Friday, September 2.
The impact of the breach may be far more harmful to Samsung because they waited so long to disclose it publicly.
If any of the stolen data is from EU customers, then Samsung may be in violation of Article 33 of the General Data Protection Rule, which states an organization must notify each affected country's supervisory authority within 72 hours "Unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons."
