Recently, a large number of users have reported through social platforms that their or their friends’ QQ accounts have been hacked, and they have received bad pictures from many friends.

On June 27, Tencent’s QQ official WeChat issued a statement saying: At around 10:00 p.m. on June 26, some users reported that their QQ numbers were stolen. The QQ security team attached great importance to it and immediately launched an investigation. It was found that the main reason was that the user had scanned the QR code for game login forged by criminals and authorized the login. The login behavior was hijacked and recorded by the black gang, and was then used by the criminals to send bad image advertisements. .

After confirming the cause, QQ immediately organized security technical forces to actively fight against black production. At present, the affected scope has been controlled, and the user accounts affected by this incident have also resumed normal use in the early hours of this morning.

“We apologize for the inconvenience caused to users! At present, we are collecting and sorting out criminal evidence of black production gangs, and we will cooperate with relevant departments to carry out work as needed to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the platform and users. Here, we also remind everyone Users, do not scan QR codes of unknown origin. When logging in to your account in a very user-friendly environment, you should be more vigilant and prevent the risk of account theft.” QQ said.
