OnePlus 6 security flaw

Although in case of loss or theft it is a huge problem for the user. Because you don't need to enable USB debugging to have full access to the phone. So anyone could have access to all the information in it. So it is necessary that the Chinese brand should launch an update as soon as possible to solve the problem.

This is expected to happen soon, and an update will be available for the OnePlus 6 to protect users from this vulnerability on the device. Although so far it is not known when this update will arrive. Since the firm has not said anything.

We hope to have more information about it in the coming hours, as there are more and more media that echo this failure in the device. So it is likely that the company will release a statement about this failure on the OnePlus 6.
