Yesterday, 360 Company announced that according to the monitoring results of Microsoft process monitor and 360 privacy protector, it was found that QQ, the largest client software in China, had extremely abnormal behavior when scanning users' hard disks.
"We are very shocked, not only in the field of security, but also in any field. This is completely different from the way regular security software scans Trojans and viruses. " Qi Xiangdong, president of 360 Company, said that because this abnormal scanning behavior of QQ software was controlled on the server side, 360 did evidence preservation in time and notarized the monitored QQ "super blacklist".
On the "super blacklist" of 27 video screenshots released by 360, almost all personal software was designated for scanning by QQ software, and software products developed by many Internet companies such as Google, Sohu, Shanda, Thunder and Taobao were "caught in the net".
Surprisingly, Baidu, Kingsoft and Maxthon, which also formed an alliance with Tencent yesterday, were all blacklisted. Sina Weibo netizens believe that although Tencent and Baidu have temporarily formed an alliance, their conflicts of interest will break out sooner or later. Baidu Hi and QQ in the "super blacklist" are competitors; Baidu game hall and QQ game are competitors; Jinshan typing PK is Tencent QQ input method; Maxthon browser is naturally a competitor of Tencent TT browser.
Qi Xiangdong believes that "Tencent's so-called QQ security scanning through the' security module' is completely an excuse. There is reason to believe that Tencent obtains all kinds of information about users' use of competitors' products by scanning the' super blacklist', then copies the functions and characteristics of competitors' products in a targeted manner, and then forcibly bundles and installs its own products in a rogue way, thus curbing the development of competitors and maintaining its monopoly position on the Internet. "
Qi Xiangdong throws four questions to Tencent: Why is scanning mandatory, not click trigger? Why can't users cancel and abort scanning? Why doesn't QQ's "security module" kill Trojans and scan common software? What users and competitors' privacy information did QQ obtain by scanning competitors' products according to the "super blacklist"?
"The truth" is unknown
Netizens expect relevant departments to "shoot"
After the "super blacklist" was exposed, netizens had different opinions. Right and wrong, many netizens can only watch and wait for the truth.
The netizen "Briefly on current affairs" quipped that Tencent copied everything, and the only innovation was the "super blacklist", but that was used to crowd out other competitors. Netizens also shouted the slogan "autumn wind blows, drums beat, rogue software who is afraid of who".
Netizen "Happy Mouse" thinks that this so-called blacklist has insufficient evidence. From the picture alone, it is difficult to prove that this is a "blacklist". Scanning lnk files can't explain everything, and further evidence is needed to prove it.
Some Sina netizens suggested that the state does not care about this kind of infringement? Peeping in reality is a crime, and so is peeping in the virtual world. I just don't know whether the legal person or the technician confessed.
The industry strongly condemns blacklist scanning.
Master Lu (system optimization software Master Lu): Tencent's super blacklist is terrible. You want to run faster, so it takes a shortcut to "copy" you and run ahead of you. Master Lu's hardware detection was also copied by Tencent in detail, and now it is discovered that the original super blacklist is the source!
Xie Zhenyu, CEO of Cool Dog Music: I talked about the "super blacklist" of QQ mentioned by Lao Zhou before. Today, I watched the monitoring of PM, and the cool dog was really taken care of. I used to wonder how QQ music copied cool dogs so accurately, but now I understand that it turned out to be a "super blacklist". I strongly condemn this behavior of Tencent and demand that Tencent immediately stop scanning the super blacklist. Tencent cannot be self-disciplined, the industry cannot be self-disciplined, and Tencent cannot compete fairly, so the whole industry cannot compete fairly.
As of press time, QQ did not respond.
In response to yesterday's 360 move, Tencent did not respond as of press time.
"War" escalation
Tencent and 360 pop-up messages attack each other.
"It's interesting to surf the Internet today! QQ pops up a message saying that 360 behavior is shameful, and 360 pops up a message saying that QQ behavior is malicious. " Yesterday, many working people discovered this situation. Tencent and 360' s "war of abuse" no longer stayed in passive news release, but began to "actively" broadcast.
360 housing subsidies for attacking horses.
Yesterday morning, office workers found that the message box of QQ popped up in the lower right corner of the screen: "Kingsoft, Baidu, Tencent, Maxthon and Niuren Joint Statement". Declare against 360 unfair competition and call on the Internet industry to strengthen self-discipline. 360 responded quickly, and the news titled "360 was retaliated by Tencent to protect users' privacy" said that QQ secretly scanned users' hard disks with a "super blacklist". In the last paragraph, it is also mentioned that Ma has received subsidies for affordable housing.
The insiders believe that this "war" has gone beyond the scope of security, technology and even user rights, and has evolved into a struggle between the two companies, even personal attacks.
"Don't treat the user's computer as a battlefield"
Compared with the fierce "war" between 360 and QQ, the onlookers of netizens seem calm and humorous. Some people think that "this kind of excitement is very happy." Some people say, you hit yours, and I will continue to play QQ with 360. Some netizens are also dissatisfied with "playing the desktop early in the morning!" Netizen "Restricted Level -X" thundered, "No matter how competitive your company is, please don't regard users' computers as your battlefields. "
In addition to netizens watching, some IT celebrities also teased each other. Angel investor Cai Wensheng posted on Sina Weibo that the blacklist was "really dark and powerful", followed by Chen Yizhou, CEO of Thousand Oaks Interactive Group, and said, "Hey, find a magnifying glass to see if our desktop is on it?" Soon someone replied, "Teacher Chen, everyone is on the desktop list." It seems that people inside and outside the industry are paying close attention to this war.
