Used PayPal for the 5t but debit card for the op3 in 07/16, anyone have any idea how far back this breach goes?

Looks like to be in the 5T time frame. We still need more info.

Got someone trying to use the card I used to buy the 5t. luckily it was deactivated.

when was this? debit card? I bought a replacement dash charger off OnePlus just a few days ago using my debit card but no dodgy transactions yet. Is it worth cancelling?

May or may not be related but just had an attempt at a PayPal phish where some texts came in showing me a 6-digit clickable code purporting to be a PayPal security code followed by some phone calls (allegedly from Nebraska) which claimed to be a PayPal automated service and asking me to enter my phone access code. I did use PayPal for purchase of OP5 but could be just be a coincidence. Be wide!

PayPal have a base in dundalk.

Good call, I would never believe those emails. Had them *from*Netflix banks etc.

But they bet in 1 in a 10, 000
Falling for it, costs them feck all and they make money off some poor people.

Makes me angry thinking about it

These were texts to my phone rather than emails. 3 in quick succession made to look like someone was trying to access my account by getting a verification/security code sent to my mobile followed very shortly afterwards by a follow-up call from a (pretend) "PayPal automated system" looking for my phone access PIN to proceed. The code in the SMSs also looked clickable but I'm damned if I'm finding it what happens when you do More sophisticated than I've seen before but I suppose, like any germ, they always need to keep evolving too.

Bit of a weird question but is it true that only the OP provided USB-C cable is capable of providing dash charge?

Think others have got some compatible ones off Alibaba but they take about a month to get here

is it not the adapter that provides the dash charge?

The charger does all the work alright (so the phone stays cool) but I think delivery of same requires a special cable. Probably some proprietary use of certain pins or some such

Thanks all, just a bit frustrated with the length of the cable provided. Wanted to get one of the 6ft Anker ones.

Oneplus sell longer (1.5m), flat cables. When I'm released from the Christmas austerity I'm planning on getting one.

Used my debit visa to buy case before Xmas from one plus. Couple of dodgy transactions just attempted. Bank texted me and put card on hold

Gas list of transactions... They started by putting a one euro transaction through on a charity site.. Then tried Nike store, Dyson, a living social subscription.. And a parking fine.. One of the few times glad I had very little money in my account..

Got one of these as a replacement. It's great. Has a real premium feel to it.

Would you guess where they were based?

Same with myself. Apparently hundreds of oneplus customers affected. I had almost 1k charged to my credit card today. Stuff bought from M&S, computer shops, concert tickets. Card cancelled and all transactions reversed by my bank this evening.

Worst part is I got no alerts I just so happened to be using online banking today and spotted it.
