Who would have thought that in 2022, there will be a large-scale QQ number theft incident.
Two days ago, QQ encountered a large number of stolen numbers, and the stolen users automatically sent color pictures and gambling websites to friends and group chats. Due to the excessive scale, many netizens woke up and found that QQ has been banned, really people sitting at home, the pot from the sky.
As soon as the news came out, it triggered a heated discussion. Up to now, the topic of "QQ stolen number" on Weibo has been read by 450 million people.
Let's just say that the user who has not logged in for a long time was actually attacked by the "dead QQ sudden attack", clicking on the message sent by the old friend of the past, it is difficult to say the stimulus, who can stand it?
A large number of users are "killed by the society"
There has always been a saying on the Internet: everyone is equal before stealing a number.
This time is the same, no matter how serious your image is, no matter whether you are facing your friends, classmates, teachers, or even colleagues or bosses, as long as the number is stolen, you are a ruthless charting machine.
What's even more frightening is that when you find out that your account has been stolen and are busy sending messages to clarify, the account falls again.
Some netizens said that they sent a clarification message to a friend, sent it for half an hour before it was finished, and as a result, the account was stolen again within 1 hour after changing the password...
Although it is not his own doing, but watching the account emit color pictures, or in the usual talk to consider the three points of the class or work group, always feel that they are "not clean".
After the incident, someone pulled the learning APP out to carry the pot. After all, on June 21, it was just exposed to the leakage of user information.
The next day, the study of the official came forward to refute the rumors. At the same time, Tencent QQ also personally responded, saying that most of the users of the stolen number were caused by scanning unknown QR codes.
At the same time, according to online revelations, most of the stolen netizens have indeed had the experience of scanning the code in the Internet café to log in to QQ.
Good guys, everyone used to say that you can't enter the account password in the Internet café, otherwise it is easy to be written down. Now, you told me that the safest scan code before will also be stolen, and I will really thank you!
After all, QQ is not as "anti-human" as WeChat, and when logging in on a new mobile phone, it requires mobile phone verification codes, two-dimensional codes, message reminders, etc., and there are various roadblocks.
Who would have thought that while we enjoy the convenience of QR code login, hackers will also enjoy the same treatment.
Account security is no small matter
In fact, qq has also recently had a large-scale account theft incident, the most recent one was on May 25.
However, the scale of that time was not too large, and the reading volume of Weibo-related topic "a large number of netizens reflecting qq theft" was only 2.38 million, far less than the level of 200 million in a single day, and QQ officials did not respond.
Although this incident will not bring too serious economic losses, it is not excluded that some people will use stolen accounts to do some illegal activities.
After all, even Tencent itself has been defrauded of tens of millions of activity funds by 3 people posing as old mothers. There is a saying that the pirate number has actually formed a complete black production chain long ago.
Security issues have never been trivial, although the number thieves are the most deprecating, but Tencent as a platform party, the product is easily breached, it is difficult to say that there is no responsibility.
If it can be resolved quickly, it is better to say that users of stolen accounts not only have slow processing speed when applying for account appeals, but even have to agree to the overlord clause.
According to feedback from netizens, the application for unsealing requires providing a photo of my id card in hand. What's more, users who submit complaints have to admit that they are their own mistakes, which have a negative impact on the platform... That's a bit outrageous.
At this stage, in addition to praying that QQ's risk control can be done well, we can only keep more eyes, carefully avoid pits, and keep our "innocence".
In the process of using the software, you must not scan the two-dimensional code of unknown origin, do not download suspicious APP, do not click on the URL of unknown origin, if you can, try to set different passwords for your main account.
In addition, it is best not to log in to your account in a strange place, which seems to be the ultimate magic weapon to cut off all account theft.
