Tang Renwu, Dean of the Government Management Research Institute of Beijing Normal University, pointed out in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that many people in China are worried that criminals will publicly sell personal information to make profits, and even fraud.The official information comes to profit, and the official is to sacrifice punishment. "
Recently, after reporting that China may have the largest data leak in history, Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang held a meeting on Wednesday (July 6) to observe the security of information and seriously investigate and punish the use of information such as illegal information and abuse of information.Interviewed scholars believe that Li Keqiang's latest statement is to indirectly respond to hacking incidents and intentionally appease the public's concerns about the possibility of personal information.
The unknown hacker "ChinaDan" posted on the Internet forum last Thursday (June 30) that the Shanghai Police database leaked and the personal information of up to 1 billion Chinese people was stolen.Hackers also proposed that 10 Bitcoin, which is equivalent to $ 200,000 (S $ 280,000), sold more than 23 TERABYTE, which is equivalentEssence
Related topics have aroused heated discussion among Chinese netizens. The topic label of "data leakage" was blocked by Weibo on the 3rd of this month.Some netizens expressed shock and described the data leakage like "streaking"; but some netizens questioned the authenticity of the news and believed that the personal information of 1 billion people only wanted to sell 10 Bitcoin is too cheap.
Western media and other Western media have tried to dial the exposed telephone number to verify and find that some numbers have been invalid or no longer, but some Chinese people have confirmed their information, and some of them confirmed that hackers were confirmed.
China's potential data and security vulnerabilities are exposed, causing the scientific and technological circles.Cewei Consulting Company, headquartered in Beijing, tweeted on the 4th that if the hacker claims that the data held in his hand is indeed from the police, "This will be one of the largest and worst leaks in history."" ".
Bloomberg reported that from the perspective of code and data researchers, the suspected stolen data highlighted the amazing breadth of Chinese government data collection, as well as many risks of how to manage the information.
The report quoted security researchers analyzed that the data leakage may publish the Internet on the Internet because developers inadvertently published the key to access the database.
Some people also believe that cloud service suppliers who custody police database backups or synchronous services are broken by hackers.Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei are currently the largest external cloud service providers in China.
In recent years, data leaks must be strengthened and the law must be strengthened
After the official remains silent for the incident, Li Keqiang hosted a executive meeting of the State Council on Wednesday to emphasize that it is necessary to observe information security, improve security management regulations, and protect personal information, privacy and business secrets.Let the masses and enterprises do with peace of mind. "
Li Keqiang also requested to seriously investigate and punish various acts of violating the legitimate rights and interests of individuals and enterprises in violation of the use of information and abuse of information.
Scholars of interviewees believe that China has not paid attention to the protection of personal information over the years. This incident once again sounded the alarm. It is believed that officials will block data management vulnerabilities, strengthen system construction and improve relevant laws.
Tang Renwu, Dean of the Government Management Research Institute of Beijing Normal University, pointed out in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that although Li Keqiang did not say, "it is obviously very directed (in response to the incident)."
He said that many people in China are worried that illegal molecules will publicly sell personal information to profit, and even start fraud. Li Keqiang is intended to release information to the public, "Punishment. "
Tan Gangqiang, director of the Chongqing Concord Psychological Consultant Office, said in an interview that China strengthened personal data collection under the epidemic, which increased the difficulty of data security management, and the leak risk also increased.The management mechanism of hacking incidents is not in place, which has led to an increase in the sense of insecurity.
He believes that officials must strengthen control at the system to ensure data security more effectively.
Tang Renwu believes that if the data is stolen from the cloud, it means that the equipment management is not good, and the service provider and manager may have to bear relevant responsibilities.Bloomberg pointed out that if the responsibility lies in cloud service providers, it may accelerate the relocation of government agencies from private service providers.
China's recent data leaks have been frequent. In 2016, the sensitive information of Chinese public figures such as Ma Yun, the founder of Ali, has also been posted on Twitter.
