secure folder

Why isn't there better screenshot security on the secure folder apps including better cybersecurity against threats like phone being rooted or malware?

Fyi click this forum before commenting people are very silly. Hell they dint even bother reading the secure golfer's privacy policies

If your device is Rooted - You no longer have access to the Secure Folder as Knox Flags would also be tripped & therefore Disabled.

I am aware of that, but I cant help but feel it's still open to a few security risks, like stalkerware for instance

[Shaggyskunk1BLM]

How would the Secure Folder be open to ANY "Security Risks" - It's not accessible by anything?? Anything related to Knox is GONE!
IF you are using the Internet - You are potentially at risk of "stalkerware" - If that's even a thing??
"Social Distancing" sounds like your best bet...

people on Samsung members aren't very helpful it seems other than that first guy

If your concern is about Rooted devices & the Secure Folder - You are the one who doesn't "get it"... Once Rooted - Knox is gone FOREVER & so is the Secure Folder... So where is the risk with Rooted devices - Other than the potential risks associated with Root - Which DON'T include access to the Secure Folder - as it no longer exists - Two Tin Cans & String are however *relatively risk free.

Secure Folder is a fully separate container. You'd have to manually install malware on it to be compromised. Nothing, absolutely nothing outside the container can access it. And if you try to tamper with that, as Shaggyskunk said, you'll trip Knox and the thing will be in full lockdown.

Obviously any software can have flaws, some stupidly obvious like how a signed integer overflow would cause planes and rockets to fail in air (no, not the 737 MAX-8, it was an Airbus line). If you're after something bulletproof to store data, I suggest you use an actual safe.
