What should I do if the mobile phone WeChat is monitored?

For a long time, users have been very concerned about the security and privacy of WeChat chat content. Tencent has responded that WeChat does not keep any user's chat records, and the chat content is only stored on the user's terminal device. According to the truth, WeChat does not interfere with user privacy. However, our concern seems to be not limited to whether Tencent monitors chat content. More doubts are whether WeChat may be illegally monitored and used by individual users.

According to the description of the subject, "I haven't read the WeChat message, but I found that it has been read and clicked". This is just like WeChat being manipulated by others. Through the tracking and monitoring system, you can monitor the mobile phone in all directions and query all kinds of information. We say that there is market demand, and driven by interests, our users' privacy cannot be guaranteed? There have been related cases earlier. Through a WeChat monitoring software, it is actually a plug-in. It relies on the function of "logging in two devices at the same time with one number". The implication is that WeChat is mirrored. The monitoring software generates a QR code, and then the monitored person's WeChat scans the QR code. Later, both terminal devices logged into the same WeChat account. The other party's WeChat will quietly log in to the monitor's mobile phone, and the monitored WeChat will not be detected.

Just as a mobile phone can log in to WeChat synchronously on a PC, this monitoring software also calls the relevant interface of WeChat through some technical means. After scanning the code, the purpose of "mirroring" is realized, and then it is unconsciously monitored. Technically, it is possible, but this method also has limitations. After the monitored person switches the WeChat account and exits, the monitored person will also exit. The monitored behavior is also invalid. But the question is, next time someone else has a chance to get your phone and scan it successfully, will it be monitored again?

What is the root of the problem? When others have the right to use your mobile phone, they naturally have the opportunity to operate some unexpected things. Obviously, we should try our best to avoid others touching our mobile phones, and we should also be wary of others monitoring ourselves in this way. In addition, it seems that QR codes should be treated with caution. Don't click on the links in the circle of friends at will, and don't click on the links in the WeChat group at will to prevent WeChat from being remotely controlled. As the saying goes, all programs are bound to have loopholes. Of course, as a software with a huge user base, WeChat actually provides users with enough security to make them comfortable and practical. Even if this tool really exists, it is extremely easy to fail. The law does not allow others to illegally monitor, but it is more important to be cautious in self-protection.
