The word "wool wool" is not an unfamiliar word for all of you in the safety circle. It can be said that the grey underground industry has repeatedly banned the use of platform loopholes to seek benefits, but just yesterday, pinduoduo, an e-commerce platform, was unfortunately "shot" and suffered tens of millions of losses overnight!

It is said that in the early morning of January 20, some netizens said that a large number of users on the pinduoduo platform were taking advantage of pinduoduo's loophole. Overnight or directly led to pinduoduo loss of more than 20 billion, many users through the loophole only spent 0.4 yuan to get 100 yuan no threshold coupons. Users can buy anything in the mall through coupons, and some netizens say that they have recharged their mobile phones or bought Q coins through coupons.

For this reason, many media have sought confirmation from pinduoduo officials. until noon on the 20th, pinduoduo officially issued a statement on Weibo, acknowledging that there were loopholes in the platform and confirming that the platform had been damaged by black ash production gangs, but pinduoduo also said that the loss caused to the platform by this incident is tens of millions, not the rumored 20 billion yuan.

Pinduoduo also said that he had repaired the loophole at the first time and reported the case to the public security organs. After verification by netizens, after 10:00, the loophole has been fixed and coupons can no longer be exchanged, and many users regret that they are "late and feel that they have missed 100 million".

But then everyone found that pinduoduo's handling of this incident was far from as simple as repairing loopholes and calling the police. On the evening of the 20th, many users found that coupons that had not yet been used after exchange had been invalidated. In addition, pinduoduo also made a "compulsory refund" for some goods purchased through coupons. This makes many users blow up the pot, and the way to deal with Pinduoduo is quite controversial.

Some users believe that these coupons themselves take advantage of platform loopholes and are illegally obtained through "fleece" and should be returned. Some users think that pinduoduo's behavior is deceiving consumers, many users do not know what is "wool wool", that is the normal preferential activities initiated by pinduoduo. So this part of the user felt cheated and even threatened to file a complaint against pinduoduo.

Is pinduoduo's handling method appropriate after all? Some experts say that if the event is a reasonable concession for the platform, it is reasonable for users to "fetch wool". However, if users make tens of thousands or more profits through "wool wool", it may be judged as improper profit-seeking. In addition, the pinduoduo service agreement also makes it clear that "using the pinduoduo platform plug-in and / or using the BUG in the pinduoduo platform to obtain improper benefits" is an explicit prohibition of the pinduoduo platform. Of course, how will the public security department judge this incident? I believe that the relevant departments will give a satisfactory answer later.

Pinduoduo e-commerce platform has been controversial since its inception. After this incident, no matter how the final law decides, it will have a certain impact on the reputation of Pinduo. Thus it can be seen that for pinduoduo, this "fleece" incident is not only an economic loss, but also a certain loss of his reputation. We hope that all enterprises and institutions can take this as a warning, strictly control network security, minimize unnecessary security loopholes and reduce unnecessary losses.
