“Last week during routine monitoring of our systems, our security team discovered that some of our users’ order information was accessed by an unauthorized party. We can confirm that all payment information, passwords and accounts are safe, but the name, contact number, emails and shipping address in certain orders may have leaked”, — report in OnePlus.
OnePlus representatives assured that they had already eliminated the vulnerability, thoroughly examined their site, looking for other similar problems, and also cooperate with law enforcement agencies and conduct further investigations.
The company also said that bug bounty will be officially launched next month.
“We’ve inspected our website thoroughly to ensure that there are no similar security flaws. We are continually upgrading our security program – we are partnering with a world-renowned security platform next month, and will launch an official bug bounty program by the end of December”, — report in OnePlus security setvice.
It can be assumed that these words relate to collaboration of OnePlus and HackerOne.
