Chapter 428: Privacy Turmoil
Text [Rise of the Dragon] Chapter 428 Privacy Turmoil (I) [These chapters of "Heavy Black" declare: If there are similarities, it is pure coincidence! The world of fiction is all fiction! It was 18 p.m. China time. Previously, under the intervention of the Ministry of Internet Information of China, all kinds of cyber incidents have subsided! And now, there is another discordant scene on the Internet in Huaxia.
The opening day of this year's Black Hat Conference is getting closer and closer, and some domestic security software companies in China want to use this to hype it up, but they didn't expect to trigger this incident.
As early as a few days ago, 471 Security Company, a well-known security service provider on the domestic Internet in China, launched a software called "Privacy Protector" and a copy of "Protecting User Privacy", as soon as the software and the "***" text were released, the war was triggered.
In the "privacy ***", 471 company disclosed and pointed out Tencent's instant messaging software QQ "peep into the user's privacy", and also stated that after installing the "privacy protector" software, you can check the content, as the name suggests, this software is for Tencent's QQ products!
Originally, the calm and quiet Huaxia Internet, everyone was waiting for the semi-finals of "Growth II" to start, and when they were ready to fight, they didn't expect that this necessary security software for installation 471 security guards would do such a thing, and a new round of war of words on the Internet began!
On the same day, Tencent did not show weakness, and immediately issued an announcement stating that its software was definitely not "snooping on users' privacy" as 471 said, and also sent out various test charts to show its innocence.
Originally, you respected me and I respected you, but now the entire Internet is in a miasma, and the biggest victims are still users, do hundreds of millions of netizens in China have to pay for this matter?
And things have developed to this day, and it has reached the point of "you live or die". Yesterday, Tencent released an open letter stating that it will ban the running of Tencent's QQ instant messaging software on computers equipped with 471 Security Guard.
As soon as Tencent's announcement came out, the entire Internet was in an uproar, and some Chinese netizens also pointed out that the war between 471 and Tencent has entered the point of "either you die or I die".
Such a thing happened on the Internet in Huaxia, and some netizens who love to watch the excitement also joked that it is better to keep fighting this war to see who is stronger. Of course, the language in this has not been modified, but it is because of this that some shortcomings of the Chinese Internet have been revealed, why has things not subsided for so long?
Who exactly is "snooping on user privacy"? Tencent also issued a notice, this time in conjunction with several other Internet companies.
As we all know, the process of Tencent QQ is qq.exe, if the user's computer is installed with the 471 company's "privacy protector", running QQ will soon prompt "QQ.exe is viewing XX, dangerous! Alerts like that. At that time, many netizens believed it and took it seriously, and began to scold Tencent for its shamelessness, but some software engineers in the Chinese industry immediately came out to reveal the working principle of the so-called "privacy protector" of 417 Company.
"If the system's built-in Notepad.exe (notepad) is renamed to QQ.exe, as soon as it runs, the 'privacy protector' will prompt QQ.exe to spy on user privacy, will Notepad also spy on user privacy? Of course, changing the name of all documents to QQ.exe will be warned, so rhetorical 471? Does the 'privacy protector' look at the name or the software? Still is... A chicken rib? Some Chinese netizens laughed at the "privacy protector" launched by 471! Of course, it's all been tested.
But as soon as this statement came out, there was immediately a more "professional", commonly known as "called beast-level" character came out to refute it, and also made a video to show fairness, the video shows that after the installation of the 471 company's "privacy protector", use some tools to view the pointing of the software, and find that the pertinence is too strong, and the performance of the monitoring is very bad, and also pointed out the name of the renamed one mentioned above, and changed the name of a few exe files to "QQ.exe", and does not change the comparison, the monitoring record is very close, saying 471 "privacy protector". "Reporting by the name of the file may not match the actual situation; The monitored "QQ.exe" does not have access to cookies, history directories.
On the Internet in Huaxia, now you are arguing endlessly, and even more funny when the theme song of this matter comes out. There are also some large entertainment forums that even began to bet on who would have the last laugh in this matter, and the imagination of Chinese netizens at this time can be described as breathtaking!
At this time, the Huaxia Internet Information Department.
Li Hua had already come back, but this time because the matter was too big, he could only be called back to deal with it. "Xiao Li, is there any movement in 471??" Qiu Xiangwei is now helpless.
Li Hua refreshed the official website of 471 products and found that there was no new news or anything like that, so he replied to Qiu Xiangwei: "Chief, I haven't found anything unusual in 471 for the time being!" After finishing speaking, he also refreshed Tencent's website, and the same is true, he is basically doing this kind of thing now, constantly refreshing the two websites back and forth.
"Do you think that guy Zhou Bing can't bear to engage in Tencent?" Qiu Xiangwei looked at Li Hua and asked.
Li Hua smiled, "If that's the case, then it's difficult for me to do it, you must know that I am a classmate with him and grew up together in the same village, he will definitely come to me when the time comes!" Li Hua's smile makes people feel very entangled, who can not be entangled when they encounter such a thing?
Qiu Xiangwei also fell into deep thought, he was thinking, if he did what Zhou Bing asked and banned Tencent QQ's server from connecting to the network for three days, what would be the consequences? Qiu Xiangwei kept thinking about this question now.
After a while, Qiu Xiangwei seemed to remember something, and asked Li Hua, "Xiao Li, do you say that it is absolutely safe to use 471?" Qiu Xiangwei asked.
Li Hua couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he heard that Qiu Xiangwei would ask such a question, but Li Hua just smiled and replied, "It's okay!" But for us, it's more chicken! ”
Qiu Xiangwei's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask: "That's it, since this is the case, Xiao Li, you just kill your relatives in righteousness, don't pay attention to Zhou Bing's kid!" Otherwise, I can't explain to Ma Teng, after all, his father is a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Zhou Bing has encountered a hard one, so he will be unlucky! ”
Li Hua didn't expect Qiu Xiangwei to become so practical now, "Uh, what if that guy comes to me?" Then I have to be criticized? Li Hua said.
"Xiao Li, I've already thought of a countermeasure!" Qiu Xiangwei looked confident.
"What's the solution? Chief, have you learned to sell guanzi? Li Hua couldn't help laughing. Since that mistake, Qiu Xiangwei has changed as a person, and now although he still doesn't know much about computers, he slowly understands some basic things, such as the unspoken rules of the security software industry.
"Xiao Li, I will announce to the public that you were sent out by me to participate in the Black Hat Conference in advance! You are the leader of the Huaxia team, so you have to arrive half a month early, so it's a good reason, right? Qiu Xiangwei laughed, and it seemed that he himself thought that this reason was very good.
"Chief, isn't that right? Now the two companies are still fighting to the death? Shall we ignore it? We are the Huaxia Network Information Department!? When Li Hua said the end, his voice was a little quiet, because Qiu Xiangwei was glaring at him at this time.
"Tube, of course! Since neither of the two companies will let anyone, then the two companies will be punished together! Wait a minute, I'll ask Xiaoke to write a notice, you don't have to worry about this! Qiu Xiangwei patted his chest and said.
"Chief, I don't think you're worried at all, if either of the two of them really breaks out now, that force can't be ignored! Hey, I've noticed that the recent Huaxia has started to be unquiet again. Li Hua shook his head, sat down, and continued to observe the movement.
At this time, it was in the building of 471 Security Software Company in Kyoto City, China.
All the company's employees gathered together to discuss how to deal with the big tree of Tencent.
"Pingyang, count how many computers our 471 security guards have installed so far?" A man who looked to be 25 or 6 years old stood at the front and said to another man next to him.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou!" The one known as Binh Duong immediately pushed the laptop that was already on the table to everyone, "At present, we have 47 Chinese users and 268.72 million users, accounting for 61% of the security software market!" Pingyang said.
Zhou Bing, who was standing, nodded thoughtfully. Then he continued to ask: "Everyone knows the intention of convening this emergency meeting here now, that is, Tencent has been rampant and domineering again and again, and now it is using such a despicable method to grab users, so we will make Tencent pay a little price even if we work overtime tonight!" Zhou Bing's expression was very excited, this was already a war that had been planned for a long time.
However, at this time, a technician hurriedly broke into the conference room and said to Zhou Bing: "Mr. Zhou, now the Ministry of Internet Information has issued a notice!" ”
Zhou Bing was stunned for a moment, then smiled, looking very happy, "Say it quickly, what announcement?" Zhou Bing couldn't wait.
Under the gaze of all the senior executives of 471 companies, the technician said in a hesitant manner: "The Ministry of Internet Information issued a notice asking our two companies to settle this matter within tonight, otherwise they will suspend the provision of network information services for the two companies!" ”
After listening to the technician's words, everyone was stunned and suspended the provision of network information services? What is the penalty here?
