Samsung employees who leaked images of the upcoming Galaxy S25+ phone have been fired, according to a tweet from @Jukanlosreve. The incident occurred after the employee shared the device’s identification number, which was used to identify them as the leaker.
The leak came after another employee, Max Jambor, editor of @AllAboutSamsung, tweeted images of the Galaxy S25+ showing its identification numbers. This led Samsung to take action against the employees who leaked the images.
Leaking images of unannounced devices is a serious offense for companies like Samsung. While it may be tempting for some employees to sell leaked photos or share them online, the consequences can be severe, including termination and damage to one’s reputation.
The incident highlights the importance of maintaining confidentiality in the tech industry. Companies like Samsung work hard to control the introduction of new products, as leaks can reduce the excitement and surprise of product announcements. The employees who leaked the Galaxy S25+ images likely had no idea that their actions would have such severe consequences.
