The health code implemented throughout the country originally provided a new technical means for epidemic prevention and control and the restoration of normal social order. However, recently, some netizens disclosed that software simulating health code appeared on the Internet.

According to Weibo netizen @ Mr. birthday, an application called “health code demonstration” appeared in Google store yesterday. In the software introduction, the developer wrote: “simulate the different display styles of health code / resumption code / access code in various regions”, and claimed that “the display data can be customized, such as region, city, name, etc.”. Although the developer said in the note that “do not use it when being scanned”, the software has been downloaded more than 1000 times.

According to the app store, the email address of the software developer is morrowindxie@gmail.com , the address is a company called “paipai technology” in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou. Some netizens said that a foreign website sharing software code also had a netizen named “Morrowind Xie” who uploaded the software in July last year and attached a download link from Google store, but the link has expired at present. This person’s information shows that his address is located in Hangzhou, China, and uses “artificial intelligence disguised as an adult” as his personal signature.

For this news, some netizens criticized “lack of great virtue”, and some even reported it to the internet police

According to another report, on the 12th, a staff member of Shangcheng district market supervision and Administration Bureau told reporters that the company could not be found through the address, and it was preliminarily inferred that it might be an individual act or forged address. The staff member said that if the police need the cooperation of the market supervision department, they will actively cooperate and assist the police in the investigation. On the 12th, the app was removed from the app store. The reporter learned from Shangcheng District Public Security Bureau that at present, Hangzhou Public Security Bureau has been involved in the investigation.
