On March 15th, the annual CCTV 315 Gala started promptly at 8 p.m.
First exposed by CCTV was the "mainboard grey market chain."
According to reports, in the promotional videos of so-called mainboard manufacturers, it was claimed that "20 mobile phone mainboards can be integrated into one mainboard, and one computer can cast screens for hundreds of phones, supporting either one IP for multiple devices or one device per IP."
The manufacturers claimed that their products could take 20 mobile phone mainboards, install them in the same mainboard chassis, assemble them into one mainboard, and control 20 phones with a single device.
It's worth noting that these advertisements even claim that the motherboard machines they manufacture, when stacked together, can form a network matrix of thousands of mobile phones. With such equipment, one can manipulate games, manipulate the number of posts, manipulate online voting - you become the king who can control everything in the online world.
Guided by informed sources, reporters from the 315 Gala visited Yunji Xia (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. The manager of the data center, Mr. Dong, said they use motherboard machines because they can easily change the IP addresses of accounts. "Whether it's numbers, IPs, hardware, or scripts, none of these are a problem."
Being able to operate a large number of phones in bulk without the risk of supervision, motherboard machines are hot sellers in the gray and black markets of the internet. But who are the people using these machines?
According to reports, after much searching, reporters finally met Mr. Liu, a manager from Cloud Future Technology Co., Ltd., who came to purchase motherboard machines. He is in charge of promotion at an e-commerce platform, and his job is to send out messages and promote customer acquisition.
"As long as I have your number, I can send out messages to strangers with links to groups. There are still many consumers who take the bait."
According to the Enterprise Check App, Hunan Cloud Shake Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2022 with Yuan Shuai as the legal representative and a registered capital of 2 million RMB. Its business scope includes software development for network and information security, manufacturing of mobile terminal equipment, and it is jointly owned by Yuan Haiming and Yuan Zhiyong.
