In the early morning of today (3rd), the wireless news mobile app sent 23 strange messages within 21 minutes.

TVB said it had reported the incident to the police, and the Police Cyber ​​Security and Technology Crime Investigation Bureau had also visited the office to collect evidence.


Among the series of push messages, there is a suspected wireless push URL and a suspected password. Fang Baoqiao, Honorary President of the Hong Kong Information Technology Chamber of Commerce, pointed out that since the URL can only be accessed from within the system, outsiders cannot enter even if they click the URL.

He analyzes four possibilities: hackers infiltrating wireless systems, hackers logging in via employee computers, internal employee pranks, or system testing errors being made public.

He pointed out that if someone logs into the internal system through improper means to do the above behavior, it may be suspected of violating "access to a computer with criminal or dishonest intent".


Non-internal login can not enter the system by pressing the URL

Fang Baoqiao said that when he received the wireless push in the early morning, he suspected that the internal staff had mistakenly published the test, but then began to push irrelevant information, so he suspected that the system had been invaded from the outside. Logging in from the inside of the wireless network, citizens cannot enter the system even if they click the URL, which excludes the possibility of netizens' "prank".

Fang Baoqiao, honorary chairman of the Hong Kong Information Technology Chamber of Commerce, pointed out that if there is a loophole in the security system, hackers can enter the company's internal system through employee computers.

However, Fang Baoqiao does not rule out that internal employees or outsourcers mistakenly push the system to the public when testing the system, or some employees "prank".

He emphasized that if someone logs into the internal system through improper means, and thus commits the above-mentioned behavior, it may be suspected of violating "access to the computer with criminal or dishonest intent", even if it is an employee "doing trouble", "there are degrees of mischief. You have to check with the company to deal with it, but since you report it to the police, there is a chance that it will involve dishonest access to the computer.”

Fang Baoqiao continued to point out that this incident is actually not uncommon. Every company's security system may have flaws, and many companies are attacked by hackers all the time every day. Wireless response is fast."

Wireless issued a statement explaining that the news app kept sending push notifications in the early morning. The incident has been reported to the police. The wireless news app has continuously pushed 20 messages in the early morning. Netizens have estimated the reason: Are you bad?
