Foreign Engineer Said the Official Software for #BeijingWinterOlympic Operates with Background Voice Recorder, Sending to China's Server
Some investigators find out by reverse engineering that "My 2022", a smartphone software for Beijing Winter Olympics, has a suspicion of sending users' voice recordings in the background.
The Chinese government requires all athletes, coaches and staff to download the application for health tracing. Users have to input personal details, such as passport information and health declaration form, 14 days before the arrival.
"My 2022" also provides functions for voice call, file transfer, and browsing news reports related Winter Olympics.
Jonathan Scott, one of the investigators, indicated that although "My 2022" operates in the background, the status will change from active to operating, in order to have the permission to monitor, and send all voice recordings to the servers in China.
However, Scott did not explain the principle behind and the app stores also claim "My 2022" not to collect users' data.

Portable charger in China Turned into Eavesdropping Device and GPS Locator
In China, a portable charger can become an eavesdropping device and a GPS locator. Acoording to Chinese media, with the installation of SIM card, such portable charger can eavesdrop a long distance away and locate the user accurately.
These devices come in various colours and models, but most have the functionality of "remote monitoring recording" and "precise positioning".
They cost from RMB300 to RMB600 and can be bought on some online platforms.
In China, a journalist from #Banyuetan (#半月談) successfully modifies a portable charger from a store with RMB300. He downloads a "#GPS365" app onto his phone. After logging in with the username and password given by the seller, the screen shows the device location, tracking record, contact list, messages etc.
The journalist puts "location" in trial and finds out that the activity tracking of the user can be seen clearly with the portable charger. Even places like underground and car parks can still be accurately shown on the system.
The staff told the journalist that the charger could record sound from the surroundings and automatically send the recording to the phone once the environment noise exceeds 50dB with "Sound Control Convo (#聲控語聊到)" installed in the app. The portable charger can also pick up phone calls automatically.

Cyberspace Administration of China: Already Held 30 Large IT Companies' Algorithm Technologies
Cyber Administration of China (#CAC) indicated on #Aug12 that 30 top IT companies have submitted part of their algorithm details, such as how to collect personal data and how to set up individual recommendation content.
Companies includes #Tencent, #TikTok under #ByteDance, #MeiTuen, #iFeng, #Weibo, #Youku, #Kuaishou, #Baidu, #Sina, #Xiaomi, #WeChat, and #Tmall and #Taobao under #Alibaba.
#Bloomberg report stated that China can have full grasp of every move done by the citizens on the internet, and even all purchase detail and personal information can be seen clearly via the relevant enterprises and applications.
The CAC passed the regulations on algorithm recommendation in March this year, requiring all enterprises to reveal the algorithm used in every application.
Nominally, they can solve the issue of data misuse and enhance cyber security. But once when the authority obtained algorithm technology, they can take further control over web activity and carry out political propaganda.
They even can take "National Security" as an excuse, to obtain citizens' and companies' information.
