Possible OnePlus hack

Although so far the exact number of users affected by this problem is unknown. What seems to be confirmed is that only those who have paid by credit card have been affected. So those who have paid with PayPal would not be in danger. How this has been possible is unknown, as the company says that the payment information is not stored on its website.

Rather, everything is processed on third-party servers on a payment platform. In addition to remembering that the option to save the card is safe. But, according to Fidus, the security firm that is investigating the matter, comments that there may have been a brief period of insecurity in which all this has happened.

Although at the moment the origin of this security problem has not been explained. So we will have to wait for the investigation to continue and possibly to clarify this problem.
