CERT-In advises OnePlus users to alter passwords

NEW DELHI: CERT-In, India’s nodal agency for cybersecurity, late on Tuesday issued an advisory for OnePlus smartphone users to change their account passwords. In its advisory, the agency said “less than 3,000 Indian customers” orders were exposed during the recent global system breach.

“The kind of information exposed such as name, address, email can be abused to impersonate as victim and gain access to other accounts. Even though OnePlus has claimed that password data was not accessed, users are still advised to change their passwords with a strong password,” the cybersecurity agency said in its advisory with ‘medium’ severity rating.
