Wechat video leak incident

On the afternoon of February 26, 2014, the Internet vulnerability reporting platform dark Cloud disclosed a suspected Tencent wechat vulnerability, which is thought to be likely to cause the privacy of wechat users' videos to leak. In response, Tencent officials said in a subsequent statement that the problem was not a vulnerability in wechat, and reminded users to pay attention to personal information security. According to the information disclosed by Cloud, search in a search engine in a certain way, you can find a series of video files that exist under the domain name, and the files that are searched can be directly clicked to play.
