In a recent landmark ruling, the Songyang County People's Court in Zhejiang Province sentenced several individuals involved in a massive breach of citizens' personal information. The case revealed that over 700 million records were leaked, with more than 80 million pieces of sensitive data being sold on the black market.
The incident began in March 2016 when the Songyang County Public Security Bureau started investigating a series of fraud cases where scammers used the “leader guessing who I am†technique to impersonate senior officials. After linking multiple cases across Lishui City, investigators uncovered a total of 28 related incidents. Following an intensive two-month investigation, police arrested 11 suspects and seized 167,000 pieces of personal data used for fraudulent activities, involving over 1.17 million yuan.
As the scale of the operation became clear, local authorities suspected there was a larger network behind the crime. A subsequent investigation by the Civilian Police Bureau traced financial flows and uncovered illegal online activities. It was found that Liao Moubin from Jiangxi had been selling sensitive data such as pregnancy records, bank details, and car owner information via the internet. His accomplices included Wang Quanquan from Fujian and Cheng Long from Hebei. In addition, other groups led by Chen Mouliang, Wang Mouhui, Du Mou, and He Mouyao were also engaged in the illegal trade of personal data, operating secret QQ chat groups for exchanging and selling information.
Chen Mouliang, one of the key players, even used disguised packages to send dozens of bank cards to Taiwan. Through coordinated efforts, law enforcement managed to intercept 22 unshipped cards before they reached their destination.
In October 2016, the public security authorities launched a major crackdown, arresting all the involved individuals. At the scene, over 200 million pieces of personal data and more than 200 sets of bank cards were seized.
The court determined that the main source of the data used in these crimes came from defendant Wang Mouhui and suspect Ku (who was dealt with separately). In February 2016, Wang Mouhui hacked into a ministry’s medical service system, extracting personal data from the database and selling it. Later, in September 2016, Ku infiltrated a provincial poverty alleviation website, stealing administrator credentials and downloading large amounts of citizen data for resale. He then sold some of the accounts to Chen Mouliang, who distributed the data to fraud groups in Taiwan.
After a thorough analysis, the court concluded that defendants Wang Mouhui, Cheng Moulong, Liao Moubin, Du Mou, Wang Mouquan, Chen Mouliang, and He Mouyao obtained personal information through various illegal means in over 50,000 instances, which were deemed particularly serious. Chen Mouliang was also found to have acquired 186 credit cards through fraudulent methods, making his actions especially severe.
Considering all the circumstances, the court sentenced Chen Mouliang to five years and six months in prison, along with a fine of 30,000 yuan, for the crimes of infringing on citizens’ personal information and obstructing credit card management. Wang Mouhui, Cheng Moulong, Liao Moubin, Du Mou, and Wang Mouquan received prison terms ranging from three to five years, with fines between 60,000 and 400,000 yuan. He Mouyao was given a three-year suspended sentence and fined 50,000 yuan.
