JD.com Warns Users and May Restrict Use of Third-Party Tools

TapTechNews reported on June 22 that according to BluePoint Network, many users received text messages from JD.com this (June 22) afternoon, warning users not to use any third-party price comparison tools or plug-ins, and suggesting to change the password, otherwise continuous restrictions will be imposed on accounts suspected of being maliciously utilized.

Although JD.com emphasized in the text message that it was detecting that the user's account might be maliciously used, but also a large number of netizens believe that this is JD.com deliberately restricting users from using third-party price comparison tools or plug-ins.

Of course, currently there are a large number of price comparison tools, extension programs and even the use of scripts for embedded price comparison for e-commerce websites. This operation of JD.com will affect many users.

As TapTechNews knows, there are currently a large number of JD.com proxy tools and scripts that can obtain users' account Cookies for operation, and this may lead to the theft of user information or being remotely controlled to engage in gray industry behavior.

In addition, some price comparison tools or plug-ins will secretly insert promotional codes in the e-commerce address, so the platform needs to pay commissions to the price comparison tool, thus causing losses to JD.com.
