The hottest tour this year is the "Little Prince" Jay Chou !
The risk control girl in Nanjing stared at the "[Nanjing Station] Jay Chou's New World Tour" from November 2 to November 3. Unexpectedly, in just over ten seconds after the official ticket was released, tens of thousands of tickets were sold out instantly. I was waiting to be by my phone, and I didn't even enter the vote page, so I watched me miss the opportunity to meet my idol.
Just when I was regretting and disappointed, the scalpers in my circle of friends ushered in a carnival of getting rich. In the hands of scalpers, not only are the tickets at all prices very complete, but each ticket is also sold at least 300 yuan on the official ticket price, and some tickets even doubled. "It's really a robbery!"
reveals the commonly used ticket grabbing methods for scalpers
In fact, not only reselling performance tickets, scalpers will also resell train tickets, football tickets, etc. Some scalpers will even sell coupons from some e-commerce platforms.
So, how did scalpers get a large number of tickets, tickets, and coupons? Below, this article will briefly introduce the commonly used ticket grabbing methods for scalpers.
The lowest-level scalper . generally uses the ready-made ticket grabbing software on the market, such as Ctrip, 360, etc. There is no obvious difference between this ticket grabbing method and ordinary people who directly grab tickets. Whether you can get it depends mainly on luck. Since this method of grabbing tickets has no cost, even if the scalpers don’t get the tickets, there will be no loss for them. The advanced scalpers with
will choose to rent or purchase an independent server , equipped with third-party ticket grabbing software and 100 megabit broadband, and use multiple devices to refresh continuously. Operations in a short time can greatly improve the success rate of ticket grabbing. The top scalpers in
can even take advantage of platform vulnerabilities to actively attack . For example, some platforms have access to the "three elements of identity", namely, namely, ID number, and mobile phone number, and are not accurate enough, and the registration will be successful even if the three elements are not matched. Scalpers will seize such system loopholes, use the same mobile phone number and different ID number to register in batches, hoard a large number of coupons for new players on the platform, and then sell them.
How do scalpers steal our personal information?
Seeing this, you may have a question: most ticket purchase channels now require real-name authentication, so how do scalpers buy tickets in real-name? The answer is: information leakage.
scalpers usually have a large amount of personal information data in their hands. The source of these data is mainly divided into two parts:
One is the daily data leakage . Sometimes, a link we accidentally authorize to access will steal our personal information.
Second, there is a large-scale collection of data in some areas. It is usually aimed at middle-aged and elderly people with low educational level and weak awareness of personal information protection.
For example, after giving some benefits to residents of a relatively closed village, they will apply for bank cards for them in a concentrated manner, and then collect their ID number, bank card number and other information, and sell them clearly on the dark web for price. These information are real, and they can be successfully verified through various channels.
How to prevent scalpers from getting wool?
How should we prevent these measures from scalpers?
As an ordinary person, you must pay attention to protecting your personal information. Never let criminals take advantage of loopholes and expose our sensitive information to the Internet.
From the perspective of consumer platforms, scalpers are generally identified from four aspects: registration, login, real name, and transaction.
The personal information used by scalpers is generally a certain degree of clustering. For example, the first four digits of the ID number are shown from the same region, or a large number of orders come from the same IP address and device number in a short period of time.
also needs to detect some abnormal situations. For example, when the ID card address, bank card address and mailing address are very different, they must be monitored. Once abnormal transactions are found, the transaction will be stopped immediately and the information will be recorded. Once the same situation is encountered in the future, it can be directly intercepted.
At present, the "Jimin" scalper identification model developed by Suning finance has been used to evaluate risk users and behaviors, with an accuracy rate of 92.7%, effectively curbing the activity of scalpers on the Suning platform and ensuring that ordinary consumers can enjoy various welfare activities.
