"Inner Ghost" illegally sells personal information of citizens, and prosecutions suggest to promote industry rectification

"At present, we have taken a number of rectification measures in accordance with the content of the procuratorial recommendations. In the future, we will strengthen supervision in the protection of user information and resolutely eliminate similar incidents from the source."

Mao Mou and Zhang Mou are both staff members of a communication operation company. The two use their work convenience. Without the permission of others, they will privately operate others to register multiple platform accounts on mobile phones, and then sell mobile phone numbers and SMS verification codes. In July 2021, the public security organs were investigated against Mao and Zhang's suspected violations of citizens' personal information. In January of this year, the two cases were transferred to the county procuratorate for review and prosecution.

The prosecutor's "stringing" analysis and judgment of the two cases found that in addition to the omissions of the daily management of the business hall involved, there are also problems such as incomplete rules and regulations and the assessment mechanism of the communication operation companies involved. The behavior of illegally selling citizenship information in the service industry is closely related to the high incidence of telecommunications fraud cases in recent years. Once personal information such as mobile phone numbers is obtained by criminals, it is likely to become a tool for them to implement illegal crimes.

According to this, on March 22, the Fangxian Procuratorate issued public procuratorial suggestions to the communication operation company involved in the incident, and suggested that it has renewed the renewal of risk management and control technology, enhanced the legal awareness of employees, established an enrollment training system, and strengthened internal daily supervision and management Taking rectifications.
