OnePlus says up to 40,000 customers were affected by credit card security breach

The Verge ----------- OnePlus has announced that up to 40,000 customers were affected by the security breach that caused the company shut down credit card payments for its online store earlier this week. The information is the result of an ongoing investigation with a third-party security agency into the breach that caused customers’ credit card information to be stolen while they were purchasing OnePlus products.Though reports of stolen credit card information and fraudulent purchases were only made in the past week, OnePlus says that the script that stole the data had been running on one of its payment processing servers since mid-November. The script was able to capture full credit card information, including card numbers, expiry dates, and security codes directly from a customer’s browser window. The company says it has determined where the exploit happened and has found the point of entry for the attacker, but the investigation remains ongoing. It’s not yet clear if the attack was done remotely, or if someone had physical access to the server to install the script. To learn more click on the picture below to read the article.
