CCTV exposes the phenomenon of cheating in mobile phone evaluations.

The journalist investigation found that the digital product evaluation field is highly technical and has long been in a grey area where "no one can prove cheating chaos". Network security experts explained that the cheating system is divided into three layers, each layer beautifying the evaluation data: the first layer is a special media machine provided by the manufacturer specifically for evaluation bloggers, with hardware being selected and optimized; the second layer has a built-in recognition program in the firmware, detecting the blogger's identity and automatically activating high-performance mode; the third layer is cloud remote control, which can send cheating configuration in real time. When this system detects that a blogger is starting an evaluation, it enters "cheating mode", automatically boosting CPU performance, increasing screen brightness, optimizing background loading logic, and only loading interfaces when switching software instead of complete applications, creating the illusion of smooth operation throughout. Bian Liang explained that in order to avoid detection risks, this cheating mechanism has undergone multiple rounds of iterations, becoming increasingly covert. The journalist investigation found that due to the combination of special sample machines, firmware cheating, and cloud control, it is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish between true and false evaluations, which also continuously damages the credibility of digital evaluations. Moreover, the difficulty of proving technological fraud makes it challenging for regulators.
