2017-06-13

  A health product company in Suining County, Xuzhou, Jiangsu actually regarded buying and selling customer information as a side job. What is even more surprising is that behind it is a black industrial chain that sells personal information.

  The Suining police in Jiangsu found that in this chain, there are many suspects who provide personal information, which are the "insiders" of relevant enterprises, units and platforms that have a large amount of personal information. These units include many small shopping websites and some express delivery companies.

  Suining police in Jiangsu revealed that as of now, 24 suspects have been arrested and more than 5 million pieces of citizens' personal information have been seized from the suspect's computer.

  Health products companies sell customer information to lead to black industrial chain

  In March this year, the Network Security Brigade of Suining County Public Security Bureau discovered that someone posted advertisements in multiple QQ groups and openly sold express order information for various express company. After investigation, the police made it clear that Hu, a staff member of a local health care product company in Suining, bought and sold citizens' personal information.

  Wang Sen, the captain of the Suining County Network Security Brigade, introduced that Zhou, the actual person in charge of this health care product company, needs a large amount of citizens' personal information to be used to make phone calls to sell it in a designated location. By chance, Zhou learned that Hu from Hebei had relevant resources, so he recruited him into his company, and he was responsible for the sales of health products.

  Under Zhou's authorization, Hu purchased relevant citizens' personal information through the Internet on the one hand for company phone calls and sales. On the other hand, he repackaged the used information and sold it or exchanged it with others.

  On April 19 this year, the network security departments of the public security organs at the Xuzhou City and Suining County level established a special task force to investigate Hu's clue, and a black industrial chain that infringes on citizens' personal information emerged.

  This black industry chain includes a variety of criminal roles including demand data customers, reselling data vendors, and bill of lading vendors, forming a closely connected and relatively loose criminal network.

  Subsequently, the police found that in the black industry chain, the types of citizens' personal information that the criminal suspect illegally obtains, provides, and exchanges and sells through illegally obtaining, providing, and exchanging transactions cover multiple fields such as electronic product sales, logistics and express delivery in many provinces and cities across the country, with a number of millions, and the content of the information is real-time and accurate.

  Liu Guangwei, captain of the Fifth Brigade of the Cybersecurity Detachment of Xuzhou Public Security Bureau, introduced that the police quickly clarified the identities of more than 20 people on the crime chain.

  Up to now, 24 suspects have been arrested, of which 23 have been criminally detained, and more than 5 million pieces of citizens' personal information have been seized from the suspect's computer.

  Wang Sen, the captain of the Suining County Network Security Brigade, introduced that among the arrested suspects were hackers and "insiders" who provided information, as well as those who purchased information for telemarketing.

  Among them, the hacker Chen Moumou has been attacking related websites and entering the website backend to illegally obtain citizens' personal information, and then sold them through the Internet. There are more than 2 million pieces of information sold, making illegal profits of 100,000 yuan.

  "Insider" involves many small shopping websites and some express delivery companies. Some of them use their website administrator's authority to package and sell customer information in the website's backend, while others are employees of express delivery companies, collecting personal information on express delivery orders through internal platforms to sell them for profit.

  Several suspects confessed that the personal information they sold includes various types of personal information such as electronic sales, logistics and express delivery industries in various provinces and cities across the country, with a total of more than 10 million pieces and illegally making hundreds of thousands of yuan in profits.
