UNV, a camera brand with many customers in Vietnam, was recently discovered to have automatically added a map with the illegal "cow tongue line" (or nine-dash line) to the upper right corner of the login screen. This action has angered a large number of users and the online community in Vietnam and quickly sparked a campaign calling for a boycott of the brand's products and services.
Tran Vu, a user, spoke up: "UNV is a big camera company in Vietnam that has gone above and beyond by adding a cow's tongue to its own application. So I would like to inform our agents and customers that I will part ways with this company."
Many stores and distributors also simultaneously announced to recall products that have been installed for customers, ready to compensate 100% of the contract value or exchange for another equipment package of equivalent value.
UNV camera application blatantly inserts a map icon with the nine-dash line on the interface
"Notice: We will stop selling all UNV camera products and OEM products from this company. Currently, the company supports the exchange of all UNV products we have sold to the market without charging any fees through other camera brands. We can sell Chinese products but do not accept Chinese products with the nine-dash line attached," emphasized a representative of a private security equipment business based in Ho Chi Minh City.
Information released from another company in Ho Chi Minh City also confirmed that it will recall all UNV branded products and OEM equipment from this brand, and compensate customers for the entire contract value.
On some technology forums, a photo of a document said to be sent to users by Uniview - the company that releases UNV camera devices, appeared, in which the unit considered the problem as "an unfortunate mistake or misunderstanding in the camera management application".
"Uniview would like to sincerely thank all partners and customers for their support and concern in the past time, and sincerely apologize to customers for the unnecessary errors and misunderstandings on our camera management application. We are aware of the seriousness of the problem and have immediately prioritized handling it at the highest level by freezing the entire application and stopping downloads," the letter stated.
UNV website in Vietnam shows signs of being hacked and page content changed
The company also said that it has updated the application to the latest version and that by July 14-17 at the latest, there will be an updated version that removes the map icon with the nine-dash line on the application. By the afternoon of July 14, according to Thanh Nien Newspaper's review, UNV's camera viewing applications had removed this icon.
Currently, the website with the address unv.com.vn of the distributor seems to have been hacked, replacing the entire interface with a call to protest against UNV for including the cow tongue line in the application. Along with the content demanding an end to actions that support the cow tongue line, the website displays an image of the nine-dash line map with a red slash.
