FOUR suspects have been detained for obtaining user information illegally from one of China's largest e-commerce websites and stealing money from its user accounts, Xinhua News Agency reported today.
More than 2,000 customers of 360buy.com fell victim to the information leak and lost more than 30,000 yuan (US$4,785) in total, Beijing prosecutors said.
One suspect surnamed Chen obtained the account information of about 800 customers of 360buy.com as well as their passwords from his friends and check those accounts with special software in February.
If there was any prepaid money in the account, Chen and his partners would use it to buy goods including laptops, jewelry, mobile phones and lotteries. More than 10,000 yuan in 1,620 accounts was stolen this way, the prosecutors said
In early March, Chen shared the account information with another suspect surnamed Tang, who stole 7,351 yuan from the accounts to buy goods on 360buy.com.
Last December the four also stole 9,000 yuan from 619 accounts and 15,000 yuan from 83 accounts, separately.
The online theft is believed to be linked with two hacking incidents last December when CSDN.net, China's largest website for software developers, and Tianya BBS, a popular social networking website, reported user information leaks.
