Sources reported that Samsung has strengthened its security in response to ongoing leaks.

The upcoming Galaxy S25 lineup has practically been completely spoiled for consumers. We know that the Galaxy S25 Ultra has round edges and we’ve seen Galaxy S25 color leaks as well. There are also Galaxy S25 Ultra RAM and storage leaks alongside actual leaked pictures of Galaxy S25 Plus. And perhaps most interestingly we even have a leaked video of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.All of these leaks and rumors — and I haven’t even mentioned all of them — have told us everything there is to know about these phones. One might think this is good for publicity: that Samsung appreciates the hype train building up until the Galaxy S25 launch. But according to some reports such leaks affect stock prices as consumers can share premature reactions to unreleased devices.

A spokesperson for the company reached out to me as well and let me know that some of the reports about Samsung Foundry were false. If true then it’s easy to see how exaggerated rumors can harm the company’s business. However the mass layoffs currently happening at Samsung don’t paint a very positive picture in my eyes.
It’s unclear how severe the security upgrades Samsung is looking to undertake will be. Renowned industry tipsters like Reve, Ice Universe and others might also be impacted by these security measures. If there is one positive outcome that I can see it’s that people won’t unnecessarily get hyped for something that may turn out to be completely fabricated.
Then again Samsung might realize that the leaks did in fact bring in a lot of attention and may secretly relax internal security after a while.
