I just got a notice from Samsung that they have new a new Privacey policy. When I get to the policy page it is blank except for a "Accept new policy" and text saying I must accept the policy to see it. I clicked the button - then that screen closed. What?? no policy? BTW - this was not sent as a normal text and does not show up in messages.

I received it as well but there is a "privacy notice" underlined link at the bottom and you can read it there.

Enjoy your new malware

Yeah, that was quite likely a fake prompt that threw up graphics in front of a real permissions prompt and got you to click where the real accept permissions button was. So you gave that malicious app permission to access something, hopefully not your storage.
