#Hackers steal 200 million personal records.#

Recently, the police in Neijiang, Sichuan Province, cracked a case of illegally obtaining computer system data supervised by the Ministry of Public Security, arresting 5 "hackers". The gang obtained citizens' personal information by writing hacking programs to override authorization and sold it on overseas websites through virtual currency, with the highest price reaching 5 yuan per piece. It is reported that the case involved 57 government and enterprise websites, and the gang stole 208 million pieces of citizens' personal information, including flight trajectories, diplomas, addresses, etc., and illegally profited over 6.4 million yuan. It is worth noting that all members of the gang are high-end "hackers" engaged in network technology, and one of them is even a staff member of a large network security company, which exposes the security risks existing within the network security industry. The police have seized over 5.6 million yuan of illegal gains, seized more than 30 sets of core code of hacking tools programs written by suspects, more than 10 hacker virtual machine penetration attack systems, and 270 penetration scripts. Currently, the case has been transferred to the procuratorate for prosecution, and the case is under trial. The cracking of this case once again warns us that personal information security issues cannot be ignored, and we need to strengthen our awareness of network security prevention and take effective measures to protect personal information.
