Haifang City in November is a relatively gloomy and cold season.

The dry October has just passed, and November ushered in water vapor and air-conditioning coming from the sea. In this case, it is commonly called "magic attack" in network terms, which directly ignores the armor.

Therefore, Hongyi's official website and the ticket collection notifications pushed to the players also explained the weather in Haifang City early and gave appropriate suggestions.

This thoughtful suggestion of Hongyi has also caused waves on the Internet, because many players who have bought tickets for Hongyi Carnival found that Hongyi's push is a bit smart.

It not only advises the players on the most suitable travel time according to the local time, but also collects the weather in the area where the player is located, and makes various thoughtful small plans for the player when they go out.

And more than that, some players said that they have also received advice on their itinerary from Hongyi. For example, a player posted a smart push from Hongyi and suggested that they should go to China’s Wangjing for a tour first. Then go to Haifang City to participate in Hongyi's Carnival.

After many people with the same experience posted different play plans that Hongyi pushed to themselves, many players later discovered the common point: Hongyi's recommendations can almost accurately know the location of each player, for players Basically, the travel recommendations for the carnival start at the local airport and end at the hotel near the carnival site.

Those players who received advice to travel to other cities checked each other and found one thing in common: they are all high-income groups.

So soon a conspiracy theory began to circulate on Twitter: Hongyi, an oriental company, finally started to attack the privacy of players!

In the West, personal privacy has always been a sensitive and hot topic. Although everyone’s right to privacy may not even be the last leaf on the Internet, you can’t tell the truth. It feels like the emperor’s new clothes.

This sensitive topic has grown rapidly on social networks as a snowball. Less than three hours after the topic emerged, several game producers said: If Hongyi’s behavior is suspected of infringing on the privacy of players Without a reasonable explanation, they will encourage more people to boycott this year's Hongyi Carnival.

This rapidly changing network situation caught many of Fang Xi's collaborators off guard. Because of the time difference, Boss Fang was in bed dreaming about spring and autumn when the matter was growing rapidly. As a result, Lin Rongchang's phone call, Su Luo's phone call, and even Doug's phone call followed one after another, and the good dream of the Spring and Autumn Period that the boss Fang had originally had flew out of the sky.

He gave a "reasonable" reply to all his co-workers, and immediately Boss Fang got up to look at the moon.

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, I don't know how many fish have surfaced?"

...

Just twelve hours after the so-called "Privacy Gate" incident of Hongyi, Hongyi slowly updated an explanatory video on Twitter to explain the matter.

First of all, Fang Xi is certainly not that stupid. After having a pseudo artificial intelligence helper, he can't wait to invade the privacy of people all over the world? The first thing you need to know is that the so-called hacking will leave traces, more or less the difference, if you invade the whole world, it will be death. And the so-called "privacy door" that Hongyi deliberately created this time actually wanted to expose his opponent to the surface.

The operation is actually very simple-just like all hacking behaviors will leave traces, all the actions of players, users, netizens, etc. on the Internet will also leave traces, and these traces are of course personal data.

Therefore, Hongyi chose a ticketing website that collects users’ privacy. The vast majority of users’ information on this website is semi-public, and you can call these as long as you access their external interface. data.

What Fang Xi did was very simple. After applying for access to the external interface, after passing it, he packaged these materials and threw them to the big data system of babble. This system will use the player's ticket receiving address to make suggestions for the player's travel. The player's past consumption records are analyzed and upgraded, and finally a travel plan that meets the user's taste is given.

Of course, in Hongyi’s video, Hongyi will of course describe its own behavior of actively accessing the interface as an accident, and summed up the matter as "We just used the latest big data analysis function, and did not expect this ticketing website to collect user information. This information, ah, ah, ah, by the way, did not expect our big data system to be so powerful!"

As soon as Hongyi released its own whitewashing video, of course, Hongyi’s partners would follow up and cheer together. Eventually, the matter quickly subsided under public opinion and public relations.

To put it simply, Hongyi pulled a big deal for the dead ghost, and then threw the dead ghost out after the incident exploded, using his whole body to retreat.

"This company doesn't want to think about it." Fang Xi shook his head in the office and exclaimed:

"Hongyi also has its own mall system, and even if there are so many cooperative enterprises abroad, why did it choose them who had no intersection before?"

Xiao Lan, who poured tea on the side, smiled:

"Fang, don’t you have a bit of compassion? After all, although other ticketing websites are not our partners, they have not targeted us. To them, it is simply a disaster."

Fang Xi curled his lips on this:

"We posted a video, but I didn’t expect even you to scam you. You wouldn’t think that the external interfaces of this ticketing website were used by them when they were idle, right? Actually, they sell this data interface. This is my own. Brute force cracking let us in."

I really didn't expect this Xiaolan:

"So in other words, this ticketing website is not simple? Then why don't they explain?"

President Fang sneered: "Explain? How to explain?"

"Explain that your interface is actually used to sell your information? It's not that the more you say it, the more you sin, and you may also involve your previous customers."

"Don't look at our current hammering momentum, but at most it hurts their website's vitality, but if they jump out and say that they are engaged in information trafficking and tell a few customers, then the owner of this website is afraid that it will not be slandered. Sue the crime in court."

"Whoever buys information from them will know, so the boss was destined to suffer a dumb loss from the beginning of this matter."

"The grown-up's world is terrible." Xiaolan stuck out her tongue.

Boss Fang was disdainful of evaluation, and turned his chair around and looked at the distant sky:

"The carnival is so fun before it even starts, I really look forward to it."
