Discover "business opportunities" at work.
On August 20 15, Xu Yanqin came to work in a company called Internet, which actually sold paid software for searching personal information. These softwares are powerful, which can collect and integrate a large number of personal information of citizens such as names and telephone numbers from the Internet, and also sort out the information.
After working for a period of time, Xu Yanqin gradually became familiar with the routine, so he wanted to go out and sell software himself. After that, Xu Yanqin submitted his resignation and prepared to start a business. First, she borrowed a company's "empty shell" from a friend and rented a house in an office building in jiande city, Zhejiang. After that, she found two software companies that had done business before, acting as agents and selling the software for searching personal information to a number of financial companies.
Only a week later, Xu Yanqin found that many companies were not interested in software, but bought personal information directly from Xu Yanqin. Therefore, Xu Yanqin decided to sell personal information directly and began to form a company team. Soon, Shao, Zhou, Ye and others joined in. After the establishment of the company, Xu Yanqin was afraid that employees didn't understand sales, so he carefully prepared a speech to teach them communication and sales skills. In order to satisfy customers, Xu Yanqin uses the network to detect the downloaded telephone numbers, eliminating the empty numbers and downtime, so as to improve the "gold content" of information.
Husband and wife resell personal information in partnership.
Because the customer information is confidential, all orders are collected in Xu Yanqin's office, and she sends the information to the customer through her email, which other employees can't handle. 2065438+In March 2006, Xu Yanqin called her husband, Tong Zhaoping, who was working in other places for help, and they ran the company together.
During this period, Shao Mou, an employee, saw that selling personal information would make money quickly, so he wanted to set up a company with Xu Yanqin. After the opening of the new company, Shao is responsible for the daily management of the company, and Tong Zhaoping is responsible for sending information by mail.
On July 20 16, due to the expiration of the lease, the company "headquarters" in Xu Yanqin decided to move. At this time, Zhou Heye, who had worked under him, participated in the management of the new company as a partner. Xu Yanqin and his wife run two companies at the same time.
Being "stared at" by the police finally fell into the French Open.
Just as Xu Yanqin successfully sold his personal information, he was "accidentally" targeted by Nantong police. It turned out that the police of Chongchuan Branch of the Municipal Public Security Bureau found that a large amount of personal information held by Zhu came from others in the process of handling the case of Zhu's illegal access to citizens' personal information, so they filed an investigation against others on August 1 1 day, 1965.
According to the investigation, from September 20 15 to August 20 16, Xu Yanqin and others illegally obtained citizens' personal information through the Internet by using paid software or purchasing from others. After Xu Yanqin hired others to sell more than 6,543.8+0.6 million pieces of citizens' personal information by calling customers, and illegally gained more than 6,543.8+0.6 million yuan. Unlike hackers who usually crack citizens' personal information accounts, Xu Yanqin and others mostly obtain personal information through software search, which has been made public on the Internet. According to the prosecutor of Chongchuan District Procuratorate, according to the provisions of the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law of China, selling or providing citizens' personal information to others in violation of relevant state regulations, if the circumstances are serious, constitutes a crime of infringing citizens' personal information. Xu Yanqin and others search and sort out public information on the Internet through software, which is relatively harmless, but if they sell it in large quantities, they have already violated the criminal law.
