Public security organs crack down on network-related crimes, maintain network clarity, use hard fists and purify cyberspace.
The "cat pool" is poisonous! Recently, four suspects were arrested for illegally selling verification codes. This is a case of infringing citizens’ personal information by using "Cat Pool" equipment, which was cracked by Jiangbei Branch of Chongqing Public Security Bureau, involving more than 20,000 pieces of citizens’ personal information and involving more than 150,000 yuan.
The internet is not a place of extra-legality. This year, the Ministry of Public Security deployed a crackdown on public security in summer. According to the latest statistics, 55,000 cases related to cyber crimes were investigated during the operation, creating a safe and clear cyberspace.
The trend of traditional crimes touching the net is obvious.
Jinke, a policeman of the Netan Corps of Chongqing Public Security Bureau, explained that the so-called "Cat Pool" is a kind of network communication equipment, which can convert traditional telephone signals into network signals. It was originally a device to facilitate unit communication. In recent years, it has become a "black technology" after being targeted by some lawless elements, and it has become a tool for illegally obtaining accounts. Criminals can use the "Cat Pool" to register accounts in batches by casting a net, and then resell them to obtain profits.
"At present, black and gray industries such as cyber attacks and technical support have become large-scale, and traditional crimes are easily upgraded ‘ Touching the net ’ The online and offline confluence is obvious. " Jinke said.
Jinke has been cracking down on crimes against citizens’ personal information for a long time. According to his observation, in the cases detected this year, such as attacking the bidding website server to interfere with the bid evaluation of engineering construction projects, destroying the data of tankers to evade taxes, and invading the hospital registration system to sell expert numbers, traditional crimes have been upgraded by means of "hacking" technology, and have continuously penetrated into the fields of engineering, taxation, environmental protection, health and commerce.
"Some cyber crimes have low cost and are easy to spread by fission. For example ‘ Village push ’ This kind of crime infringes on citizens’ personal information, and the tactics are extremely simple. After the members of criminal gangs are familiar with the tactics, they ‘ Recruit troops and set up another mountain ’ This has caused such crimes to spread rapidly in rural areas. " Jinke said for example.
The data shows that by the end of 2022, the number of Internet users has reached 1.067 billion. In 2022, the public security organs further promoted the "Net Net 2022" special campaign, investigated 83,000 cases, arrested a large number of criminal suspects, and earnestly safeguarded the network order and the legitimate interests of the masses.
"Data security is the weak link of network security. Chongqing Netsecurity Corps has solidified data security and personal information protection as the key inspection contents of law enforcement inspection of public security organs, and instructed and supervised data processors to strictly follow the requirements of network security law, data security law, personal information protection law and other laws and regulations and national standards and norms when carrying out data processing activities by using information networks, implement the data security and personal information protection subject responsibility of enterprises and platforms, and strengthen the security protection measures of the whole life cycle process to ensure data collection, storage and protection. Jinke said.
Punish cyber violence and illegal crimes
In cyberspace, rumors and violence emerge one after another, and a series of problems need to be solved by the rule of law.
The "Rule of Law Daily" reporter noted that public security organs across the country have launched a 100-day special campaign to crack down on online rumors since April this year. During the operation, public security organs nationwide investigated more than 2,300 cases, rectified nearly 8,000 Internet platform enterprises (times), shut down more than 21,000 illegal and illegal accounts according to law, and cleared up more than 705,000 online rumor information.
The Supreme People’s Court, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security jointly held a press conference on September 25th, releasing the Guiding Opinions on Punishing Cyber Violence and Crimes according to Law.
Sun Ping, deputy director of the Legal Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said at the press conference that the Ministry of Public Security attaches great importance to the crackdown on cyber violence crimes, and the public security organs across the country have launched a cluster campaign against cyber violence crimes based on the "Net Net 2023" special action and the summer public security crackdown and rectification action, aiming at personal attacks, rumors and rumors, "human flesh search" and other prominent cyber violence crimes, as well as behind-the-scenes cyber violence "black hands" and "pushing hands". We continued to strengthen clue discovery and crack down on punishment, and solved a number of cases with high social concern, such as the case of "the mother of a primary school student who was hit in Wuhan, Hubei Province" and the case of Zhang’s employment of "network water army" in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province.
By the end of September, local public security organs had arrested 35 criminals suspected of cyber violence, 57 people were given administrative punishment and 472 people were criticized and educated during this year’s "Summer Action", warning and educating netizens to surf the Internet in a civilized way, express rationally and consciously abide by the law.
"If the cyber violence reflected by citizens to the public security organs in the form of reporting, accusing or reporting constitutes a violation of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, the public security organs will impose penalties on public security administration according to law; If the circumstances are serious and it is considered that it meets the conditions for public prosecution after examination, it shall be filed for investigation in a timely manner according to law. " Sun Ping said that the public security organs will continue to focus on cracking down on cyber violence cases strongly reflected by the people according to law, especially against groups such as minors, or cases in which "deep synthesis" technology is used to organize "water army" and "thugs" to implement cyber violence, as well as cases that cause adverse social impacts such as mental disorders and suicides of victims, and effectively correct the wrong tendency of "the law does not blame the public" so that the people can fully feel fairness and justice.
"If the people’s court considers that it is indeed difficult for the victim to provide evidence and requests the public security organ to provide assistance in the case of the victim’s private prosecution for online insult and slander, the public security organ will do its best to assist in evidence collection and effectively help the victim effectively safeguard his legitimate rights and interests." Sun Ping said.
Work together to build a dike of network security
"Crimes against citizens’ personal information are often upstream crimes such as telecommunication network fraud, cross-border gambling, and pension fraud." Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, said.
The reporter noticed that the final use of illegally obtained information is to provide bank cards and virtual identities for criminal activities such as network water army and network money laundering; The other is to provide accurate "bull’s-eye" for telecommunication network fraud, extortion and so on.
How to create a new network security pattern of co-construction, co-governance and sharing?
"Radical eradication of Internet-related crimes requires concerted efforts to manage the source of the industrial chain behind the crime." Zhu Wei suggested that a clear network environment requires the participation of many parties. Public security organs should closely combine the data security law, the personal information protection law, the provisions on the management of network product security vulnerabilities and other laws and regulations, strengthen the supervision and management of network and data security, carry out normalized network security supervision and inspection and special rectification, urge and guide all units and departments to implement the responsibility of network and data security protection, truly make laws and regulations "grow teeth" and earnestly safeguard national network security, data security and citizens’ personal information security.
Sun Ping said: "Based on the functional role of public security organs, we have effectively strengthened coordination and linkage with relevant competent departments such as online information and publicity to form a joint force of supervision; Regularly carry out network security supervision and law enforcement, compact the security subject responsibility of network service providers, promote website platforms to strengthen enterprise autonomy, improve management norms, and improve smooth reporting channels. "
On October 10-11, the Ministry of Public Security held the inaugural meeting of the Cyber Security Legal Advisory Committee and a special seminar on cyber security legal system in Beijing, focusing on "cyber crime governance", "data security and personal information protection" and "Internet security supervision". In view of the new situation and characteristics of cyber security, the investigation and research were strengthened, and targeted countermeasures were developed to provide theoretical support for public security organs to carry out cyber crime prevention and control according to law.
In addition, the public security organs in Beijing, Guangdong and Shanghai jointly issued a proposal of "Rejecting Internet Rumors and Clarifying the Network Environment" with large Internet platforms, calling on the vast number of network information content service platforms and network information content producers to jointly maintain a good network order.
