每當有新機推出,大家都會關心新機的跑分到底有多高,而 《Antutu》(安兔兔)可說是行內最多人使用的跑分應用之一。不過,Google 近期為了整頓 Google Play Store 上一些潛裝有惡意軟件,或違反 Google 禁止插頁式廣告、高騷擾性質廣告規範的應用,早前就移除了近 600 款應用,當中包括跑分軟體《安兔兔 》旗下的多款應用,包括《安兔兔 3DBench》、《安兔兔評測》、《安兔兔 AI 評測》等等,外媒分析認為,事件是和中國應用開發商獵豹行動有關…
Google 平均每年會將近 80 萬個惡意應用下架,當中包括一些惡意應用,例如會記錄並分發用戶資料到不明網絡,或是一些監控應用。亦有部分是應用本身違反了 Google 禁止插頁式廣告、高騷擾性質廣告規範,都會被視作惡意應用而被下架。其中,中國應用開發商獵豹行動所推出多達 45 款應用,部分因為被指應用內潛藏有惡意程式碼,能盜用用戶的重要資訊甚至作監控用途,亦有應用內加入插頁式廣告、高騷擾性質廣告而被下架。外媒發現,在《安兔兔 》旗下的多款應用所提供的隱私權政策資訊相關說明網址,導向了獵豹行動的英文官網 cmcm.com。所以才會被 Google 下架。
就相關應用下架,北京安兔兔科技亦發出公告表示,雖然獵豹行動在 2014 年向安兔兔注資,並成為北京安兔兔科技的股東之一,但強調兩家公司營運及管理上完全獨立,業務上亦沒有任何合作。不過公告中就承認北京安兔兔科技,使用以獵豹行動購買的法律服務,並將隱私權政策資訊相關說明網址使用了 cmcm.com 的地址,目前安兔兔正尋求新的法律服務。
雖然,《安兔兔 》旗下的多款應用都已經被下架,但用戶仍然可以透過第三方平臺下載有關應用。
[blockquote style=”1″] We received a notification email from Google on March 7th informing us that AnTuTu was one of the related publisher accounts of Cheetah Mobile, all AnTuTu apps were removed from the Play Store. But in fact, We think there is some misunderstanding about it. Antutu is NOT the related account of Cheetah Mobile!! AnTuTu was founded in 2011, even before Cheetah Mobile, and is one of the earliest Google Play developers. Cheetah Mobile invested in us in around 2014 and became one of our shareholders since then. However, we still retain a considerable account of shares and Independent operation of the company as well as our own independent Google Play account. Cheetah Mobile has never touched our Google Play account, and AnTuTu has NOT done any promotion of Cheetah Mobile’s software. We believe that the reason for Google’s misjudgment is that we purchased and used the legal services from Cheetah Mobile, so our privacy policy link used the address of cmcm.com. This is what we are working on, including changing legal supplier. Regarding Fu Sheng being the chairman / manager of Beijing AnTuTu Technology Co., Ltd., this is because of the requirements of the investors. In fact, many Chinese companies have such requirements when investing. When the shares reach a certain percentage, investors will require changes in government registration documents. The company is actually operated by Beijing AnTuTu Technology Co., Ltd. Henan Branch. And Fu Sheng does not actually participate in the operation or the management of AnTuTu. Anyway, we have informed the investor Cheetah Mobile asking them to solve these problems caused by them. We hope that Google can examine AnTuTu’s account carefully and finally resolve this misunderstanding as soon as possible. [/blockquote]
