IT worker held for leaking firm data
Print Edition
AN IT worker at a top local online service provider has been detained for leaking data of over 65,000 employees.
Police said yesterday that the suspect, a man surnamed Xiang, claimed that he did so because the company was being “unfair” to him. Xiang was working as a senior research and development engineer at the firm.
The company reported the leak to Putuo police at 11pm last Thursday after staff at its risk control department discovered that the data of its employees, including their names, sexes and mail addresses, had appeared on a website.
Suspicion fell on Xiang soon after investigation started, and he was detained the next day.
He could face the criminal charge of selling citizens’ personal information to third parties and up to three years in prison, according to China’s Criminal Law.
Meanwhile, Huangpu police have caught three people who allegedly illegally acquired over 80,000 items of personal data and sold them over the Internet.
One of the suspects, a woman surnamed Hu, had access to information of over 23,000 clients when she was working for a financial company and sold the data on social networks for profit, police said.
