Case Review:
Some time ago, the network security department of Pingyi, Linyi, Shandong Province found that there were "Internet water army" gangs that illegally provided services such as likes, praises, and brushing in the e-commerce live broadcast room through advertising, industry recommendations, etc., seeking to increase the traffic of the e-commerce live broadcast room and improve the order rate.

After investigation, the criminal gang headed by Li and Luo set up business contact points in 7 provinces and 11 places in China through first-class series and purchase platform algorithms, and connected them through third-party platforms, using group control software, and issuing instructions to hundreds or even thousands of mobile phones at the same time, which can sharply increase the popularity of the e-commerce live broadcast room within a few minutes.
In order to make the "water army" look more like real users,When entering the live broadcast room, the group control software can also set the batch, entry time and different speech content in advance.

At present, 12 criminal suspects have been transferred to the procuratorate for prosecution, and the cases are being further investigated.
