Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! CTOnews.com Sept. 24 news, recently, many passengers found that some strangers' ride information and travel orders appeared on their 12306 platform, and they were very confused.

According to the Beijing News, the railway department responded. According to reports, since passengers need to fill in 12306 account information and passwords when purchasing tickets through third-party ticketing platforms, these platforms may make use of technical means when helping other passengers buy tickets. randomly select accounts from users who have bought tickets on this platform, bind other people's identity information, so as to purchase tickets.

According to CTOnews.com, there are two ways for third-party ticketing platforms to help passengers buy tickets. One is to log in to the 12306 account to purchase tickets, and the other is to purchase tickets without login. The former will add passengers to the official waiting queue and the remaining tickets will be monitored by the system. In the latter, tickets will be grabbed manually, but the charges are more expensive. If the tickets are successfully snatched, the service fee ranges from 15 yuan to nearly 100 yuan.

"third-party platforms will retain user information in the process of buying tickets, which not only has problems such as surcharges and bundled sales services, but also may have the risk of personal information disclosure." The customer service staff of 12306 platform said that once passengers fill in the account password of 12306 platform when logging into a third-party account, your 12306 account has no security at all, and there is a situation of misappropriating your account information to buy tickets for others.

The railway department reminds passengers that in order to ensure the security of personal information and smooth travel, it is best to buy train tickets through official channels and avoid using third-party platforms. If you have already purchased a ticket on a third-party platform, it is recommended to change the password of the 12306 account in time and delete the information of strange passengers. However, because the 12306 platform has a time requirement for the deletion of newly added passenger information, sometimes it may not be possible to delete it in the first place.

The railway department stressed once again that China Train 12306 has never authorized any third-party platform to sell train tickets, nor can it give the so-called "priority right" to third-party platforms. Third-party platforms will retain user information in the process of passenger ticket purchase, which not only has traps such as surcharges, acceleration packages, bundled sales services, but also may have the risk of personal information disclosure.
