When many people use WeChat, they will wonder how many friends have blocked themselves. As a result, some of them send group messages through third-party anti-powder software, and identify and clean up the blockers based on "whether the information can be successfully sent and received". As everyone knows, these powder cleaning software may hide the trap of stealing WeChat account information. A few days ago, the Shanghai public security cracked a case of infringing on citizens' personal information in the name of clearing powder.
The police investigation found that after the user entered these "clear powder" mini programs and scanned the two-dimensional code provided by the customer service, they actually authorized the other party to log in with the server, and after a few minutes, they got a clear powder report. However, once you encounter malicious anti-powder software, using this short period of time, the other party can intercept the user's login information and log in to its WeChat account arbitrarily for a period of time.
Li Jie, deputy head of the network security detachment of the Minhang Public Security Bureau, told reporters: "In a certain period of time, in almost 1-2 days, this cookie is still valid, then he can still use the cookie to engage in further, the next step of criminal activities." ”
The shanghai police cracked the powder cleaning software case this time, that is, after the production team intercepted the user information, resold the account to others for the use of public account voting, likes and so on. What is more frightening is that when controlling the user's WeChat, the information of the user's friends will also be saved, and there is a risk of being used as a fraud to impersonate friends.
In mid-to-late September, the police successively launched a network collection operation in Shanghai, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Hunan and other places, and arrested 4 criminal suspects. According to the transaction flow, this gang illegally made more than 8 million yuan by reselling information during a 14-month period. In order to conceal the modus operandi, the gang also used foreign currency, virtual currency and other ways to trade abroad. It is reported that since the beginning of this year, the Shanghai public security network security department has detected a total of 301 cases of crimes of infringing on citizens' information, and arrested 264 suspects of crimes.
The police remind that the public should pay attention to protecting personal privacy in the process of surfing the Internet, especially at present, there are many methods of obtaining personal information, which are quite hidden.
Tang Yunjia, deputy captain of the three detachments of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Cyber Security Corps, said: "With a small and cheap advertisement, by scanning this two-dimensional code, he will let you download, not the download link of the regular application mall At this time, be careful." ”
