Beijing Olympics health app includes security flaws, blacklisted company ties, and CCP developer

The health monitoring app that athletes competing in the Beijing Olympics were given has significant security flaws, is linked to a company blacklisted by the United States for Uyghur surveillance, and was developed by a company chaired by a Chinese Communist Party loyalist.

The MY2022 app is owned by Beijing Financial Holdings Group, a state-controlled company founded in 2018 and belonging to the Beijing city government. Beijing Financial says it is run by a board of directors and a CCP committee. The company chairman is Fan Wenzhong, who is also the secretary of the company’s CCP committee.
