81% rise in incidence of online offenses
Print Edition
A TOTAL of 710 people were charged with online crimes in the first nine months of 2017, up 81 percent year on year, China’s Supreme People’s Procuratorate said yesterday.
The procuratorate indicted 334 cases in the same period, an increase of 82.5 percent year on year, according to procuratorate spokesman Wang Songmiao.
“Cyber crimes are increasingly organized and operated in groups, especially cyber gambling and fraud,” Wang said.
“We have seen more and more forms of cyber crime, including cyber attacks, cyber fraud, cyber pornography, cyber gambling and so on. And crimes of infringement of personal information, online rumor-spreading, cyber blackmail, cyber terrorism and selling drugs online keep rising,” Wang said.
Wang said the number of cyber crimes, including cross-border cyber crimes, would keep rising in the foreseeable future.
In order to tackle the problem, prosecution authorities will research the new features of online crime and adopt measures to control it, he said.
The procuratorate will research several areas of cyber crime, including its definition, conviction standards and the verification of digital evidence, Wang said, and more efforts will be made to work with financial and telecommunications enterprises to crack down on online crime.
