What is the situation of grabbing the WeChat red envelope?

A few days ago, Yancheng Jianhu police cracked a case of manufacturing and selling "grabbing red envelope plug-in software". Nearly 600,000 users across the country bought and downloaded the software, involving nearly 30 million yuan, and arrested more than one suspect 10. According to reports, this is the first case of WeChat program red envelope plug-in in China.

"This software is not authorized by Tencent. It can intercept the transmission data between the WeChat client and the server in real time, read and modify the data returned by the WeChat client reading server, and then realize the related cheating functions such as automatically grabbing red packets and viewing red packets. " Knowing the principle of this software, Chen Dajun, deputy director of Yanhe Police Station, was very shocked. "This kind of software will steal user information and even transfer the money in the account, which has great security risks."

On 20 16 10, Jianhu police decided to set up an ad hoc group led by Netan Brigade, coordinated by the criminal investigation department and undertaken by the police station along the river to fully carry out the investigation. "We started the investigation from the WeChat account of the plug-in user remittance, and many clues pointed to the same criminal gang." The police retrieved the transaction records of WeChat account and found the records of He Gong.

At the same time, they and Tencent experts extracted the author's ID through the reverse analysis of the plug-in software of "Grab the Red Packet King", and found that this ID number had published many posts in a forum to promote the software of "Grab the Red Packet King" from July 20 15 to February 20 16. The registrant was Gong Wei, the general agent responsible for sales.

Subsequently, the task force was divided into two ways, and Gong and Yu were captured in Hangzhou and Chongqing respectively. Through the data recovery of Gong's mobile phone and computer, the police found a dissolved WeChat agent group, and analyzed and judged other people in the group, and finally arrested 9 offline agents in Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi, involving nearly 30 million yuan.

According to reports, the most basic function of this software is to automatically grab red packets. After installation, the system will automatically help you grab it in the background. And don't grab the biggest or smallest bag, or just grab the mantissa. The mantissa can also be set on it, and you can also grab the "cow bag", that is, the sum of the numbers is a multiple of 10, which is also a way to gamble with WeChat red envelopes.

"Chen Mou used to specialize in computer information technology and has always been interested in programming. It is the software he designed and developed. " Chen Dajun said that this software was free when it first came out. Chen Mou found that the software was heavily downloaded, and knew that there were business opportunities, so he started selling it. "He made an authorization code. Whoever wants to use it has to pay for the authorization code. If you buy all plug-in functions, it will cost about 3000 yuan. If it is single, each price ranges from 600-800 yuan. "

According to reports, because this type of crime is mainly used on the Internet and personal mobile phones, it involves a large number of electronic data investigation and evidence collection work, and the professional requirements are high. During the investigation, the police conducted investigation, analysis and evidence collection on 28 computers, 20 mobile phones and 9 tablet computers used by criminals for two weeks in a row, and produced more than 300 pages of electronic data investigation records.

At present, Chen Mou, Gong Mou and others have been arrested by the procuratorate for allegedly providing programs and tools specially used to invade and illegally control computer information systems.
