[Anchor] Is it true that police officers across the country received suspected spam text messages with the same content, prompting an investigation?
[Reporter] Yes, last Sunday, a large number of police officers nationwide received suspected spam text messages containing the same message.
The messages demanded the emergency arrest of a specific individual in connection with a case involving a certain YouTuber.
The sender numbers appeared to be actual high school phone numbers or internet phone numbers, and the police have launched an internal investigation to determine the origin of the messages.
The issue is that in June of last year, cyber investigation officers across the country also received a flood of text messages claiming that the Cyber Investigation Bureau had been hacked.
With a similar incident recurring after one year, concerns are growing within the police force that officers' mobile phone numbers may have been leaked.
The police stated that they are investigating the exact circumstances, including the possibility of a personal data breach.
