To verify the issue, she even checked her sister's phone and found the same problem.

The mother-of-two Nielsen said: 

This means that if anyone got hold of my phone, they could access it and within moments could be into the financial apps and be transferring funds.

"It's a real concern," added Lisa then went to the customer service to report the problem. "We called Samsung because we thought there was a fault with the phone.

The man in customer services took control of the phone remotely and went into all the settings and finally admitted it looked like a security breach.They said someone in another department who could investigate would call us but we still haven’t heard anything from them.

A Samsung spokeswoman said: "We're investigating this internally. We recommend all customers to use Samsung authorized accessories, specifically designed for Samsung products."
