The Forbidden City, National Museum, Tsinghua University, Peking University... In the scorching summer of Beijing, reservation tickets for every popular tourist attraction are exceptionally popular. Tickets are difficult to grab, and "scalpers" are rising. Journalists have found through investigation that "scalpers" have learned technology and use automatic ticket grabbing software to compete with ordinary tourists for reserved tickets, with obvious advantages. And cybersecurity experts told reporters that this technology is not difficult to implement, but difficult to prevent.

"We use computers, you can't grab them."

"Tourists who have booked tickets, please use the north entrance." On July 8th, under the guidance of security, the east gate of Peking University, which had just opened for reservation visits, lined up in a long queue, waiting to enter the campus for a visit. Those tourists who did not grab the reserved tickets can only take photos in front of the door as a souvenir.

"I didn't get it, not in a second. Peking University issues tickets at midnight and Tsinghua University issues tickets at 8am. I didn't even get it, it's too difficult." Ms. Wu, who wanted to take her child to experience the atmosphere of a prestigious school, could only look around at the entrance of Peking University, take a photo, and then take the subway to the next station. "Let's go to the Summer Palace."

Tourists find it difficult to make reservations, but there are paid reservation services available online. On a certain social media platform, paid appointments at Tsinghua and Peking University are generally priced at 200 yuan per person, or even higher.

In addition to Tsinghua and Peking University, which have just opened reservation visits, the Forbidden City, National Museum, and other attractions are even more popular. Mr. Ma, a tourist from Liaoning who came to Beijing, spent 288 yuan to buy a ticket to the Forbidden City from a scalper. There is also a ticket priced at 588 yuan. Mr. Ma, who spent a high price, sighed, "Real name reservation cannot stop scalpers."

Although various online platforms have recently strengthened their efforts to clean up information about scalpers, journalists can still find "ticket booking services" on online platforms. When asked about "scalpers", they said that they were not scalpers, but robbed and booked on behalf of tourists. They needed tourists to provide ID number, mobile phone number and other information. The scalpers have great confidence in their success rate in proxy grabbing: "We have a very heavy workload every day, and with computers, you can't compete."

When "scalpers" refer to using computers, they actually refer to ticketing software. Originally only used for grabbing train tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush, ticketing software is now also used for grabbing tickets to popular tourist attractions.

"If updated frequently, it is also difficult to prevent on the official website."

The reporter found a tutorial on automatically purchasing tickets for the Forbidden City online. Through the program made in this tutorial, you can enter the name, ID number, mobile phone number and other information of the reservation person in advance, and then you can realize automatic ticket grabbing without login.

Of course, there are still relatively few ticketing apps targeting tourist attractions. More specifically, there are ticketing apps for 12306 train tickets and Damai concert tickets.

Information security engineer Xiao Fan told that real name registration is not very effective for ticketing software that can add specified identity information. Nowadays, online scalpers require buyers to provide their identity information first.

The official's prevention of this ticketing software may also be technically broken through. 12306, which is widely recognized for its excellent performance in security, also has to deal with a large number of ticket brushing software every year. Xiaofan showed the update log of a 12306 ticketing software. Although it is not currently the peak season for purchasing tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush, this ticketing software still maintains a high intensity of updates, updating and iterating almost every week.

Xiao Fan said that if the ticketing software for scenic spots is frequently updated and iterated, it is also difficult to prevent the official website of the scenic spot.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
