The software allegedly enabled them to log onto a large number of WeChat accounts and create posts for the accounts’ contacts to see. Police found that they had purchased and rented WeChat accounts from the Internet and used Hanghaiwang to control them from one master account. Police in Huangpu District said they started their investigation together with Tencent, the developer of WeChat, in May after they discovered that suspects in an Internet scam were using software to spoof IP addresses when logging onto WeChat. The suspects allegedly developed and sold a software called Hanghaiwang over the Internet for that purpose and raked in about 1 million yuan (US$143,000) from the operation. Thirteen people have been caught for allegedly using software to gain control of WeChat accounts in order to feed scams, Shanghai police said on Thursday. Some of the suspects are caught by police.
