Another major GIS company appears to have encountered security issues. The incident occurred on July 25th. While casually browsing the Spicy GIS group chat, our editor noticed a member sharing a link with the caption "XX got hacked." Initially, the editor didn't pay much attention, assuming it was just another prank like the "Crazy Thursday send me 50" meme. About a week later, on August 2nd, the editor accidentally clicked that link and was surprised to discover that the website genuinely seemed to have been compromised.
Admittedly, the initial discovery was shocking—this is one of China's top-tier GIS companies after all. It highlights that security concerns should be a priority for organizations regardless of size; even the largest companies can have critical oversights.
