backdoor on phones

[me just sayin]

look like there is another flaw on oneplus phones.

OnePlus' security troubles aren't over yet. Users have discovered that many of the company's phones from the past few years (including the OnePlus 5) include a Qualcomm testing app, EngineerMode, that lets you get root-level access to the phone without having to unlock its bootloader. An attacker would likely need physical access to your phone to do any damage, but that still means they could insert trackers or otherwise compromise your phone with very little effort.

Okay at least you need physical contact to phone... but yes disable and remove it immediately

at one time I would have like to mess with it to see what I can do with it before getting rid of it. It would like the days of cgi scripts and forgetting to delete the setup files with all permissions.
