360 experts discuss how Kuaishou was attacked: How was the real-name authentication and content review process bypassed?

On December 23rd, experts from the 360 Cyber Security Group analyzed to reporters that this is highly likely an organized and premeditated external hacker attack. From a technical perspective, the attackers may have exploited underlying vulnerabilities in the live streaming interface, bypassing the platform's real-name authentication and content review processes. This large-scale, high-frequency black-hat infiltration exposed significant flaws in Kuaishou's risk control defense system when dealing with extreme security attacks. According to the 360 group, these illicit live streams exhibit obvious "automation" characteristics: a large number of newly registered accounts start live streaming at the same time, playing pre-made illegal videos. Even though the platform continuously bans individual accounts, the illicit content continues to surge in growth like a tide. Around midnight on the 23rd, Kuaishou took emergency measures to "indiscriminately shut down" live channels.
