Number One Game Designer

Haifang City in November is a relatively cold season.

The dry October has just passed, and November ushered in the moisture and cold air coming from the sea. In this case, it is commonly known as "magic attack" in the Internet language, the kind that directly ignores armor.

Therefore, Hongyi's official website and the ticket collection notification sent to players also explained the weather in Haifang City early, and gave appropriate suggestions.

For Hongyi's thoughtful suggestion, it also caused waves on the Internet, because many players who bought Hongyi Carnival tickets found that Hongyi's push is a bit smart.

It can not only suggest the most suitable travel time for players based on the local time, but also collect the weather in the area where the player is located, and make various small and thoughtful plans for the player when they go out.

And not only that, but some players said that they have also received advice from Hongyi to arrange their itinerary. Then go to Haifang City to participate in Hongyi's carnival.

After many people with the same experience published the different game plans that Hongyi pushed to themselves, many players later discovered something in common: Hongyi’s push suggestions can almost accurately know the location of each player. The travel suggestions basically start from the local airport and end at hotels near the carnival site.

And those players who received suggestions to travel to other cities checked each other, and found one thing in common: they are all high-income groups.

So soon a conspiracy theory began to circulate on Twitter: Hongyi, an oriental company, finally started to attack players' privacy rights!

Personal privacy has always been a sensitive and hot topic in the West. Although the last leaf of everyone's right to privacy may be lost on the Internet, you can't tell the truth, which is a bit like the emperor's new clothes.

This sensitive topic has almost snowballed rapidly on the social network. Less than three hours after this topic rose, several game producers said: Hongyi's behavior that seems to violate the privacy of players Without a reasonable explanation, they will advocate more people to boycott this year's Hongyi Carnival.

This rapidly changing network situation caught many of Fang Xi's collaborators off guard. Because of the jet lag, Boss Fang was having a big dream on his bed when this matter grew rapidly. As a result, Lin Rongchang's electric spark, Su Luo's phone call, and even Doug's phone call followed one after another, causing Boss Fang's dream of spring and autumn to fly to the sky.

He gave a "peace of mind" reply to all the partners, and then Boss Fang simply got up to watch the moon.

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, how many fish have surfaced?"

...

Exactly 12 hours after the so-called Hongyi "privacy door" incident, Hongyi slowly updated an explanatory video on Twitter, explaining the incident.

First of all, Fang Xi is certainly not that stupid. After having a pseudo artificial intelligence helper, he can't wait to invade the privacy of people all over the world? The first thing you need to know is that the so-called hacking will leave traces, there is more or less difference, if you invade the whole world, it will be death. And this time, the so-called "privacy door" that Hongyi deliberately created was actually to make his opponent surface.

And the operation is actually very simple - just like all hacking behaviors will leave traces, all actions of all players, users, netizens, etc. on the Internet will also leave traces, and these traces are of course personal data.

Therefore, after thousands of choices, Hongyi chose a ticketing website that collects user privacy. Most of the user information on this website is semi-public. As long as you access their external interface, you can call these material.

What Fang Xi did was very simple. He applied for access to the external interface, and after passing the application, he packaged the data and threw it to the big data system of babbling.

This system will use the player's ticket delivery address to make suggestions for the player's travel, analyze and upgrade the player's past consumption records, and finally provide a travel plan that can meet the user's taste.

Of course, in Hongyi's video, Hongyi will of course describe its active access to the interface as an accident, and summarize the matter as "We just used the latest big data analysis function, and did not expect that this ticketing website would collect users' information. This information, by the way, I didn’t expect our big data system to be so powerful!”

As soon as Hongyi posted his whitewashing video, of course Hongyi's partners would follow up and wave their flags and cheers. In the end, the matter quickly subsided under the influence of public opinion and public relations.

In simple terms, this matter is that Hongyi pulled a scapegoat to make a big deal, and then threw the scapegoat out after the incident exploded, using himself as a waste to escape.

"This company doesn't even think about it." Fang Xi shook his head in the office and sighed:

"Hongyi also has a shopping mall system. No matter how bad it is, there are so many cooperative enterprises abroad. Why did you choose them that you didn't have any intersection with before?"

Xiaolan, who was pouring tea at the side, smiled:

"Mr. Fang, don't you have any compassion? After all, although the ticketing website is not our partner, it has never targeted us. It is a disaster for them."

Fang Xi pouted at this:

"We posted a video, and I didn't expect to deceive you. You don't think that the external interfaces of this ticketing website are just for fun, do you? In fact, they are selling this data interface. This is my own. Brute-forcing let us access it."

I really didn't expect this Xiaolan:

"So it means that this ticketing website is not innocent? Then why didn't they explain it?"

Mr. Fang sneered: "Explain? How to explain?"

"Explain that my interface is actually used to sell your information? Isn't that the more you say, the more sinful you are, and maybe your former customers will be involved."

"Don't look at how powerful we are now, but at most it will hurt the vitality of their website, but if they jump out and say that they are engaged in information sales and name a few customers, then the owner of this website may not be slandered crime in court."

"Those who would buy information from them will know if they think about it, so the boss was doomed to be dumb from the very beginning."

"The world of adults is really scary." Xiao Lan stuck out her tongue.

Boss Fang didn't bother to comment, turned his chair around and looked at the distant sky:

"The carnival is so interesting before it even starts. I'm really looking forward to it."
