With the development of smart connected vehicles, network security has become a crucial factor in ensuring the smooth operation of autonomous driving cars on the road. In November 2023, four departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China jointly issued a notice on the pilot work of access and road operation of smart connected vehicles, clearly requiring enterprises to have the capabilities of ensuring network security and data security. This measure aims to promote the pilot operation of autonomous driving cars on the road. However, even with favorable policies, security issues remain the last hurdle that smart connected vehicles need to overcome before hitting the road. Not long ago, Baidu's autonomous driving ride-hailing service "Apollo Go" started trial operation in Wuhan, Chengdu, Guangzhou and other places, but it was urgently suspended within less than half a month. This incident once again highlights the importance of the securi

On the evening of August 24th, Steam, the world's largest gaming platform, encountered severe technical problems, causing domestic and foreign players to be unable to log in normally. This incident quickly became a hot topic on social media. Although some players speculated that this failure was caused by the excessive number of online players of the recently popular game "Black Myth: Wukong", according to the official statement of the PWA (Perfect World Arena) platform, in fact, Steam suffered a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. Since its release on August 20th, "Black Myth: Wukong" has quickly become a phenomenal game. Its highest number of online players on the first day exceeded 2 million, setting a new record for domestic stand-alone games. And within just a few days, its sales across all platforms exceeded 10 million copies, with the peak number of online players reaching 3 million. However, just as the popularity of this game was continuously r

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gradually permeated into our daily lives. Especially in the field of children's education, various products equipped with AI technology are emerging in an endless stream, including the widely popular children's smart watches. However, a recent incident regarding the AI answer of the 360 Children's Watch has triggered widespread discussions among the public about the accuracy and suitability of the content provided by AI.   The incident originated when a parent asked an AI assistant built into their child's 360 Children's Watch a question: "Are Chinese people the smartest in the world?" Surprisingly, the answer from the AI assistant not only failed to give a positive and affirmative response but also mentioned a highly controversial point—that China's Four Great Inventions were alleged to be "forged." This answer quickly caused an uproar on the Internet.   In response to this, 360 Company quickly respon

On August 8, the Fujian Cyber Security Corps took the lead in collaborating with the Quanzhou Cyber Security department to successfully crack a hacker case of illegally obtaining the exclusive authorized videos of a large video website through technical means. The lawbreakers used hacker technical means to steal more than 100,000 exclusive authorized videos such as popular series on the official website and linked the videos to illegal apps for users to watch for free. The case-handling police quickly launched an investigation and successfully arrested the criminal suspect Liu Mosheng on July 11. One crime-committing mobile phone and one crime-committing computer were seized on the spot. Liu Mosheng confessed to the criminal fact of illegally establishing a video website app and reaping illegal profits.

  In this era of the Internet of Everything, smart home devices have permeated every aspect of our lives. However, along with the popularity of smart devices, security issues have also emerged. Recently, two security researchers released a study on security vulnerabilities of Ecovacs' lawn mowing robots and sweeping robots at the Def Con security conference, triggering public concerns about the security of smart home devices. These vulnerabilities not only may allow attackers to remotely control the devices via Bluetooth but also enable them to access the built-in cameras and microphones of the devices, posing a serious threat to user privacy. The researchers pointed out that the main problem with Ecovacs products lies in a vulnerability where anyone using a mobile phone can connect to and control an Ecovacs robot from a distance of 450 feet (about 130 meters) via Bluetooth. "You send a payload, and in just one second, it will reconnect to our machine. For example, it can reco

In-depth Reflections on Safety and Privacy Triggered by Incidents in Disneyland

In the globally renowned entertainment brand Disneyland, tourists are expecting a journey filled with laughter and joy. However, a recent incident has compelled people to reexamine the safety responsibilities of entertainment venues as well as the importance of data protection. This article will discuss the legal disputes, technical security issues, and the necessity of protecting tourists' privacy behind this incident.   Recently, a restaurant in Disneyland in Florida, the United States, failed to inform in advance that the food contained peanuts, resulting in the unfortunate death of a female doctor who suffered from peanut allergies. Her husband subsequently filed a lawsuit, demanding that Disneyland bear the corresponding legal responsibilities. However, Disneyland claimed that since this woman had ordered Disney+ using a PlayStation console and had agreed to the user terms, stating that the user had agreed not to resolve disputes through the court, and thus refused to comp

Breaking News! A 7.1 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Japan. The Importance of Earthquake Early Warning!

On August 7, 2024, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake occurred near the Hyuga Nada Sea Area in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, shaking the entire region. This earthquake not only impacted the lives of local residents but also tested the emergency response capabilities of government agencies such as the earthquake administration. In a country like Japan where earthquakes occur frequently, the earthquake administration undertakes important responsibilities of monitoring, early warning, and information release. The effective fulfillment of these responsibilities is inseparable from a stable and reliable network infrastructure.   Earthquakes are natural disasters that cannot be predicted. However, through modern technological means, people can issue early warnings a few seconds to dozens of seconds before an earthquake occurs, providing precious escape time for the public. In this case, the official website of the earthquake administration becomes a crucial information release platform. It not onl

Malicious Crawlers and Ticket-Grabbing Software: The Truth behind Cybercrimes

As consumers, perhaps everyone has had the experience of participating in flash sale activities on e-commerce platforms, but the results are often unsatisfactory - as soon as the flash sale time arrives, the goods are announced to be sold out. Some participants will blame their own insufficient reaction speed, while others will question the lack of sincerity of the platform. However, for network security professionals, the truth is often more complicated.   The phenomenon that discounted goods are sold out within 0.00001 seconds is mostly caused by malicious crawlers. On the eve of the "618" e-commerce festival this year, the security department of a well-known e-commerce platform (it is said that the platform is JD.com) monitored that some merchants were suspected of defrauding subsidy funds by means of false transactions, involving an amount of more than 5 million yuan. After investigation, it was found that some merchants frequently placed orders for the specified subs
