Preface
Who would have thought that 360, which claims to have devoted 20 years to cybersecurity and makes its living from security, would actually stumble in the very field it's most proud of—and in the most absurd and least expected way.
360's boss Zhou Hongyi seized this opportunity and personally took the stage to promote his company's new AI product "Security Shrimp," hoping to overtake competitors by leveraging 20 years of security expertise. However, the product crashed spectacularly right after launch, directly causing 3.6 billion in market value to evaporate—a classic case of gaining nothing while losing much.
This embarrassingly low-level mistake not only slapped Zhou Hongyi in the face but also made hundreds of millions of users collectively question: Has 360's much-touted security capabilities over all these years been genuine, or is it purely marketing hype?
How Hard is Zhou Hongyi Pushing?
Recently, AI agents (colloquially called "raising shrimp") have become the hottest thing in the tech circle. Basically, they're AI assistants that can help people handle office tasks, write code, and make reports. Whether ordinary people use them to save time or enterprises use them to improve efficiency, everyone relies on them.
Seeing that Tencent and Baidu are aggressively offering free installations and capturing market share, 360, which started in security, couldn't sit still anymore. After all, falling behind one step in the AI race could mean being completely left in the dust.
As 360's boss, Zhou Hongyi had remarkably high hopes for the "raising shrimp" race. He even stated openly in interviews that "not developing raising shrimp would be the biggest security risk."
