More than 200,000 cell phones were monitored by various positioning programs in the mainland

A number of location apps have appeared on the Internet on the mainland, claiming that they can “determine the location of the other party by entering their cell phone number” and can even illegally access other people’s chat records. According to reports, it is estimated that more than 200,000 cell phones have been monitored.

According to the Guangzhou Daily, Xue from Foshan, Guangdong Province, bought a “hidden” version of the positioning App “Observer”, which allows him to see where the person being monitored is at any Time and anywhere, and even view the other person’s phone screen and open the other person’s camera.

The report said that the buyer bought the app online and installed it on his own phone first, and then secretly installed the hidden version of the app into the monitored person’s phone, so he could monitor it remotely.

The investigation found that the software developer had also developed several other apps with similar functions, which could not only remotely control positioning, but also remotely read and write files and control cameras.

One of the apps even illegally accessed the chat records of WeChat users. The app synchronized about 450,000 WeChat chat records within six months, involving 975 controlled cell phones. These apps have been on the shelves for more than a year, involving more than 200,000 accounts and more than 200,000 controlled cell phone terminals.

Such as customized version and hidden version prices ranging from 600 yuan to 900 yuan, can hide the icon of the controlled end.

Ou Wei’an, professor of Guangzhou University Law School, said that even if both sides agree to use, if the App used is illegal software, it is suspected of violating the provisions of relevant network security laws. Users downloading the App through abnormal channels may cause the phone to suffer virus attacks and leak personal data.

In addition to the above-mentioned positioning program, in fact, in mainland China, the Chinese Communist Party‘s surveillance is omnipresent, and everyone’s clothing, Food, housing and transportation are under the control of the Chinese Communist Party’s “public security big data”.

The CCP uses high-tech surveillance systems to monitor people, and the surveillance methods penetrate into all corners of society. From the early “Great Firewall” to monitor, control, and censor the Chinese people, the “Golden Shield Project”, an all-round surveillance system, and the development of “face recognition” and “gait recognition” have been adopted. The “Great Firewall” has been used to monitor, control and censor the Chinese population, followed by the “Golden Shield Project,” a comprehensive surveillance system, and the development of “face recognition” and “gait recognition.

A former employee of China Mobile’s online service company, surnamed Li, disclosed to The Chill that there is no privacy in China, and that social platforms, phone calls and text messages on cell phones are all under surveillance.
