According to Christopher Moore, a security researcher, he discovered that his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/64-bit-processors-make-your-oneplus-2-faster-and-more-powerful\/\">OnePlus 2<\/a>\u00a0was sending specific user patterns to a company server without\u00a0his permission. Moore first discovered this when he set up a security tool on his OnePlus 2. However, the tool found traffic requests to\u00a0<b>open.oneplus.net<\/b>, which directed traffic to a US-based Amazon AWS server.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, he found out what kind of data had been collecting by this domain. The result was quite frustrating. The company has been collecting\u00a0IMEI number, MAC addresses, mobile network names, Wi-Fi SSIDs, and the phone\u2019s serial number. Furthermore,\u00a0Moore noticed that the company was also collecting details such as which app the user opened and when the user launched or closed an app. Additionally, the time when you turn on or off your phone is one type of information the smartphone sends away.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/oneplus_5_slate_grey_1498485813227.webp 800w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/oneplus_5_slate_grey_1498485813227-300x169.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/oneplus_5_slate_grey_1498485813227-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/oneplus_5_slate_grey_1498485813227.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/oneplus_5_slate_grey_1498485813227.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/oneplus_5_slate_grey_1498485813227-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/oneplus_5_slate_grey_1498485813227-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-60583 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"OnePlus brand\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>After deeper investigation, the culprit responsible for data collection is a system app called \u201cOnePlus System Service\u201d.\u00a0You can&#8217;t turn\u00a0off the app since it is part of the System. However,\u00a0you can disable the application when the phone restarts.<\/p>\n<h3>OnePlus brand&#8217;s answer for the problem<\/h3>\n<p>The Chinese company has responded to data collection concerns. The manufacturer said: &#8220;We securely transmit analytics in two different streams over HTTPS to an Amazon server. The first stream is usage analytics, which we collect in order for us to more precisely fine tune our software according to user behavior. The second stream is device information, which we collect to provide better after-sales support.&#8221;. We hope OnePlus will soon fix the problem. Stay tuned for more updates from us.<\/p>\n<div class=\"31e97817518902a1d132cf665aa26f91\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7613953952\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OnePlus brand smartphones are being accused of collecting personal data of users.
