According to netizens, at first he felt that TV was a bit slow, so he checked the backstage of TV service programs. We found a software called Check Data Service, which scans the information of all networked devices in the home every 10 minute, including specific personal network data, such as the host name, mac and ip of each device, and then scans it to obtain data and the neighbor status of the network. After the article was published, many netizens felt? Extreme fear? .
In the subsequent statement, Zhengzheng Data pointed out that the relevant information of user data it collected would be used for services related to rating research. Because the user privacy statement policy is not clear enough, some users apologize to users for security and privacy reasons. At present, Skyworth TV has also announced the termination of cooperation with the search data, and ordered the search data to delete illegally obtained user-related data.
Potential risks: think about it: what if it passes? Check the information? If you get enough data, you may collect users' daily work, daily brands, house size and so on. Because smart lights, smart refrigerators, sweeping robots and other smart homes and TVs enjoy Wi-Fi, where do their data belong? Scan and upload? Category. As stated in the statement, these data may not actually be used for analysis, but there is a risk of revealing privacy. This is a problem that needs to be solved directly. We are enjoying the technical convenience provided by big data, but due to the potential risks, we can't rule out the security problems that every user may have.
It is actually very bad for Skyworth TV to directly obtain user information so nakedly. If curious netizens are not professional, how long will our personal information be collected in secret? We don't know how many smart devices get personal information similarly. Is this phenomenon just a problem of a certain brand, or is it a common problem of an industry ecology? For these questions, the public hopes to get a clearer answer.
Conclusion: Without proper information security management and supervision, there is still a lack of norms and standards in data collection, and consumers will be hit hard. When the new technology develops to a certain scale, the corresponding system regulations should also keep up in time.
