Reasons for Stealing Airline Mileage Thieves use loopholes in the system of the airline transferee to steal the mileage after logging into the star account.
From a legal point of view, stealing airline mileage points from stars (others) is suspected of several crimes.
Lawyers said that this move constitutes theft or will face fixed-term imprisonment; If an airline intentionally leaks data and is suspected of infringing citizens' personal information, it shall bear criminal responsibility.
First of all, stealing star (someone else's) air mileage points is a kind of theft in itself, which is basic common sense. If the value of stolen air miles is low, only public security management punishment is needed; But if the value is relatively high, it constitutes theft. This fan embezzled 230,000 air miles and converted it into RMB equivalent 1 1.500. According to this standard, it should be considered as "a large amount" and may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and may also or only be fined.
Secondly, stealing other people's air mileage points is suspected of infringing citizens' personal information. There is a simple reason. If you don't get someone else's ID number and other personal information, you can't bind your airline account with someone else's ID number. How do people who steal other people's air mileage points get other people's personal ID numbers and other private information? Whether it's human flesh or purchase, we need to investigate to find out those criminals who sell and provide other people's personal information.
Moreover, stealing other people's air mileage points is also suspected of committing the crime of illegally obtaining computer information system data. If you steal someone else's airline account and transfer air mileage points, it is an illegal act to obtain computer information system data.
The user's air mileage points have been stolen, which link has gone wrong, where are the loopholes, and whether the main responsibility lies with the airlines needs further investigation. However, it is obvious that airlines need to improve the management system of users' air mileage points and add several "firewalls" for users' safety.
