OnePlus has confirmed up to 40,000 customers may have been hit by hackers
OnePlus has confirmed its website was targeted by cybercriminals last year.
The hugely-successful Chinese smartphone manufacturer halted payments on its website earlier this month after learning of the attack.
Up to 40,000 people may have been affected by the online attack.
Some customers who entered their credit or debit card information on the payment page at oneplus.net between mid-November 2017 and January 11, 2018 may be affected.
OnePlus has confirmed that hackers may have taken off with credit card numbers, expiry dates and security codes.
“We immediately began to investigate as a matter of urgency,” the company said.

Following its investigation, the smartphone manufacturer concluded that “a malicious script was injected into the payment page code to sniff out credit card info while it was being entered”.
The malicious script operated intermittently, capturing and sending data directly from the user's browser.

OnePlus has since eliminated the problematic code.
The company says it has also quarantined the infected server and reinforced all relevant system structures.
OnePlus is sending out emails to those who may have been affected by the hack.
The smartphone maker also recommends customers check their card statements and report any unfamiliar charges.
“They will help you initiate a chargeback and prevent any financial loss,” OnePlus adds.

“We are eternally grateful to have such a vigilant and informed community, and it pains us to let you down.
“We are in contact with potentially affected customers. We are working with our providers and local authorities to better address the incident.
“We are also working with our current payment providers to implement a more secure credit card payment method, as well as conducting an in-depth security audit.
“All these measures will help us prevent such incidents from happening in the future.”
