OnePlus Site’s Payment System Reportedly Hacked to Steal Credit Card Details

in #news7 years ago

This year's first bad news for OnePlus users—a large number of OnePlus customers are reporting of fraudulent credit card transactions after buying products from the Chinese smartphone manufacturer's official online store.
The claim initially surfaced on the OnePlus support forum over the weekend from a customer who said that two of his credit cards used on the company's official website was suspected of fraudulent activities.
"The only place that both of those credit cards had been used in the last 6 months was on the Oneplus website," the customer wrote.

Later a good number of users posted similar complaints on OnePlus, Twitter and Reddit forums, saying they also became a victim of credit card fraud.

Cybersecurity firm Fidus also published a blog post detailing the alleged issue with the OnePlus website's on-site payment system. The firm suspected that the servers of the OnePlus website might have been compromised.

According to Fidus, OnePlus is currently conducting the transactions itself on-site, which means that all billing information along with all credit card details entered by its customers flow through the OnePlus official website and can be intercepted by attackers.
"Whilst the payment details are sent off to a third-party provider upon form submission, there is a window in which malicious code is able to siphon credit card details before the data is encrypted," Fidus wrote.
