    40,000 users affected by credit card security breach: OnePlus

    Smartphone maker OnePlus has confirmed that the recent credit card security breach on its official website has affected up to 40,000 customers. Earlier this week, customers complained of fraudulent transactions being made from their credit cards after they shopped from OnePlus' online store. OnePlus has since shut down the facility of making credit card payments on its website.

    Credit card information was stolen when customers shopped at OnePlus.net

    A third-party investigation confirmed that customers' credit card information was indeed stolen while they were buying OnePlus goods. It revealed that a script was installed on OnePlus' payment processing servers that captured all credit card information like security codes and card numbers from customers' browsers. The malicious script has been eliminated but the ongoing investigation is still determining how OnePlus' servers were broken into.

    OnePlus offers free credit monitoring service to affected customers

    As compensation, the company is offering affected customers free credit monitoring service for an entire year. While credit card payments remain suspended on OnePlus' website, customers can still shop through PayPal. The company has also assured that it is working to put a more secure credit card payment method in place before making the facility available again.

    OnePlus owns up and apologizes for the security breach

    "We cannot apologize enough for letting something like this happen. We are eternally grateful to have such a vigilant and informed community, and it pains us to let you down," OnePlus said.
