OnePlus has officially acknowledged a bootloader vulnerability plaguing its OnePlus 6 flagship smartphone, saying a software update containing a fix for the problem will roll out soon. Here's what exactly the company has said:
We take security seriously at OnePlus. We are in contact with the security researcher, and a software update will be rolling out shortly.
