OnePlus ‘accidentally’ exposes hundreds of customer emails

Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus has reportedly exposed hundreds of customer email addresses while sending out a mass mailer for a research study to a select number of users.

Instead of putting email IDs of customers in the “BCC” field, the company ended up copy-pasting hundreds of email addresses in the “To” field.

This resulted in all recipients of the research email receiving hundreds of customer email addresses, Android Police reported on Friday.

The exact number of users affected in this goof-up is currently unknown but one among the listed told Android Police that the number is in “hundreds”.
