People's Times Comment on Ticket Snatching: Polish your eyes And be vigilant about the risks behind ticket-snatching software

[CNMO News] It has been less than a week since the New Year, and this year's Spring Festival has already officially opened. The data shows that in 40 days, the national railway is expected to send 280 million passengers. During the Spring Festival every year, grabbing train tickets has become a very common phenomenon, which also plagues some passengers. In this case, some ticket-snatching software has launched many "ticket-snatching services", including "acceleration packages" and "booster packages". In this regard, the People's Times said that the majority of passengers should maintain sufficient vigilance and sober understanding to be vigilant against the risks behind ticket-snatching software.

In fact, some experts have previously said that the acceleration package of ticket snatching does not have any practical effect, and 12306 officials have also confirmed this. No matter which ticketing software, you will eventually need to queue up in the railway 12306 ticketing system.

At present, the principle of most ticket snatching software is to use technical means to continuously refresh the remaining tickets and improve the speed of demand submission, thereby increasing the probability of grabbing tickets. Some platforms link the success rate of ticket snatching with means such as "acceleration packages" to induce consumers to buy products. To a certain extent, ticket-snatching software also disrupts the normal ticketing order.

In addition to inducing consumption, there are various charging traps and other issues, ticket snatching software also has the risk of personal privacy leakage, because most ticket snatching software requires passengers to provide personal identity and 12306 ticket purchase account number, password and other information, and some also require users to upload ID photos.

It is worth mentioning that the current 12306 ticketing system has long been online with the "standby ticketing" function, and has been fully promoted, passengers can flexibly use this function to "grab tickets" for themselves.
