BEIJING: Three more applications were placed under a cybersecurity investigation after Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Global faced the same probe last week.

The Cyberspace Administration of China, the country’s top Internet watchdog, announced on Monday that it had launched a cybersecurity probe into Boss Zhipin, a mobile recruitment app, and truck-hailing apps Yunmanman and Huochebang in accordance with laws to prevent data security risks and safeguard state security and public interests.
