Kuaishou, one of China's popular short-video platforms, reported the issue to police after explicit content appeared in its livestream channels on Monday night, saying the platform was targeted by illegal and malicious groups. A cybersecurity expert said the disruption reflected a shift toward automated attacks overwhelming traditional manual defenses and should ring an alarm for the industry.
At around 10 pm on Monday, Kuaishou was hit by a large-scale attack from illegal "black-gray" industry operations, which refer to illegal and malicious actors, with hackers breaching the system over a 60- to 90-minute period and flooding the platform with livestreams containing prohibited content, according to information released to the Global Times on Tuesday by Chinese cybersecurity company QI-ANXIN Technology Group Inc (QAX).
Many netizens also reported that a large amount of explicit content appeared on Kuaishou livestream platforms on Monday night, including the playback of obscene videos or borderline vulgar performances by streamers, Capital News reported on Tuesday.
