Employees of Yihaodian, one of China's largest e-commerce companies, are under investigation for selling customers' personal information, Shanghai police said today.
At least 11 former or current employees of the online shop, which sold its controlling stake to Wal-Mart just last week, have been held for investigation, said Qu Weifang of the Internet safety department of Shanghai police.
"We found secret deals between suspects inside and outside the company," Qu told reporters, but he gave no details the case is still under investigation.
In another case, seven people were arrested in Shanghai and Nanchang, capital of Jiangxi Province for downloading cell phone numbers from a national hotline and selling them to companies. Thousands of people's personal data had been sold since March, fetching the suspects more than 1 million yuan (US$160,000) in profit, Shanghai police said.
The city's Internet police have detained 1,788 suspects so far this year in 954 criminal cases involving online pyramid selling, illegal fundraising, gambling, prostitution, defaming rumor and personal data trading, said Cao Zhongping, general director of the Internet safety department.
