Fake TikTok Account Impersonate Chiang Wan-an 蔣萬安遭冒名 2萬粉絲抖音帳號是假的

While TikTok is considered a threat to national security by many, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an has been criticized for his inaction after a city councilor revealed that there was a fake account on TikTok under Chiang's name and identity. The imposter account has been around for three months and has more than 20,000 followers. Chiang said the case has been reported to the police.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an participated in rope access training and paid attention to occupational safety issues. However, a city councilor revealed that there was an imposter TikTok account under Chiang's name, with more than 20,000 followers, and he didn't realize it for 3 months. KMT and DPP city councilors appealed in unison that information security management and control should not be ignored.

Lin Yen-feng, Taipei City Councilor (DPP): “I raised the question on March 3. But the Taipei City Government waited until March 8, a total of 6 days later, to report the incident to the police. This is a total lack of hindsight and inaction. Mayor Chiang should change his status from victim to law enforcer and take this issue seriously.”

Chan Wei-yuan, Taipei City Councilor (KMT): “The title of Taipei Mayor creates a certain degree of credibility. It will also lead to so-called fraudulent behavior. The Taipei City Information Technology Department should check all accounts using his name soon. And then report fake or fraudulent accounts one by one.”

The councilor also suggested that the police department should submit a special report on the case to speed up the process of finding out who was behind the impersonation. Chiang also personally responded to the case. 

Chiang Wan-an, Taipei City Mayor: “As far as I know, it was reported to the police yesterday.”

Countries around the world have doubts about TikTok. The U.S. FBI believes that the Chinese government may use TikTok to control the data of millions of American users and use it to influence public opinion, including opinions on Taiwan. As for whether Taiwan will ban the app, the Executive Yuan believes that it is still necessary to collect and analyze relevant international practices to assess the technical and legal feasibility. 

頭戴安全帽、敲擊牆面進行外牆巡檢，台北市長蔣萬安體驗繩索作業演練，關注職安議題。但中國抖音資安爭議延燒，有議員揭露台北市長蔣萬安超過2萬粉絲的抖音帳號是假的，遭冒名3個月渾然不覺。藍綠議員同聲呼籲，資安管控不容忽視。

民進黨台北市議員林延鳳表示：「我在3日的時候就已經提出質詢，但是整個台北市政府卻等到3月8日，事隔6天了之後才去進行報案，後知後覺，無所作為。蔣萬安市長應該要從受害者變成除害者這樣子的身分，來嚴謹看待這個議題。」

國民黨台北市議員詹為元指出：「掛著台北市長的名字會造成一定的公信力，也會因此而產生所謂詐騙的行為。」

台北市的資訊局資安局提及：「應該趕快去檢視他所有的帳號，並且把這個假帳號或詐騙帳號一一的檢舉。」

議員更建議警察局應對該案提出專案報告，加速找出幕後黑手。針對抖音遭冒用，蔣萬安也做出回應。

台北市長蔣萬安說道：「昨天我了解，已經報警處理。」

世界各國對抖音存有疑慮，美國聯邦調查局認為，中國政府可能透過抖音控制美國數百萬用戶數據，並藉此影響公眾言論，包括台灣論述。至於台灣政府是否擴大禁用？行政院官員認為，仍需蒐集研析國際相關作法，評估在技術面以及法制面的可行性。
