360 responded to the "Security lobster" private key leakage: has been verified and dealt with, will not have a substantive impact on user accounts, passwords, and device security.

Regarding the issue of the private key leakage of its product "360 Security Lobster", 360 company responded to Sina Technology, stating, "We have checked and handled it in the first place. This issue will not cause any substantial impact on the security of users' accounts, passwords, and devices." 360 mentioned that this was a configuration oversight in the release process, where an internal domain certificate was mistakenly packaged into the installation program. This certificate is only used for communication between internal programs on users' computers, and the data does not enter the public internet, so there is no risk of direct monitoring or hijacking. Currently, the certificate has been revoked and rendered invalid in a timely manner. "We appreciate the attention from users and the media, and we will further optimize the release verification process to prevent similar situations from happening again," said 360.
