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.

外國工程師指冬奧官方 App 程式碼啟動背景錄音 再發送至中國伺服器
有研究人員指從逆向工程中發現，專為北京冬奧而設的應用程式 「冬奧通」有監察用家之嫌，會將音頻發送至中國伺服器。 中國政府為北京冬奧推出手機應用程式 「冬奧通」，要求所有運動員、教練及工作人員等場內人士下載使用。用戶需於抵達中國前 14
