Print Edition
CHINESE police have caught more than 4,200 people this year for stealing and trading private information of Chinese citizens, the Ministry of Public Security said.
The suspects include 390 insiders from about 40 sectors such as banking, education, telecommunication and securities, as well as nearly 100 professional hackers, the ministry said. They are alleged to have been involved in over 1,800 criminal cases.
The ministry alleged that criminals illegally obtained and sold private information of citizens, including their identities, phone numbers, home addresses, bank and social network account information and passwords, leading to telecom scams, cyber fraud and blackmail.
The ministry will crack down on crimes that involve stealing and selling private information, and urged enterprises that possess large amounts of information about citizens to enhance security management, it said.
It also warned the public to raise awareness and report cases related to such crimes via www.cyberpolice.cn.
