Picture according to @uniq-王一博
statement: Today, our company discovered that our artist Mr. Wang Yibo was booked for a flight without any reason, and various false rumors have been fabricated around the itinerary. This behavior has been suspected of serious violation of Mr. Wang Yibo legitimate rights and interests, and also seriously affected his normal work schedule. We are currently at the peak of the Spring Festival passenger flow. This bad behavior of wasting precious transportation resources is not only against social ethics, but also suspected of violating the law. Our company will strictly investigate this and pursue it to the end. I hope we can work together to practice social ethics and be good citizens in the new era.
This is not the first time that Wang Yibo has been harassed by "illegitimate fans". In July 2021, he also discovered that a tracking locator was installed in the car. At that time, the brokerage company immediately called the police.
Beijing Changping Public Security Bureau later issued a notice saying that the suspects Li (female, 25 years old) and Zhang (female, 24 years old) were fans of the actor. In order to achieve the purpose of "chasing stars", they illegally installed positioning devices on the car. device.
The media has reported many times that celebrity personal information has been stolen and affected their schedules, and it is not uncommon for flights to be booked, canceled or changed maliciously.
In 2021, Wang Feifei, who became famous with "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", and Gong Jun, who became popular with the hit "Shanhe Ling", invariably denounced "illegitimate meals" on Weibo and asked the other party not to do it for them anymore. Checked in, sparking heated discussion.
Once the celebrity’s ID number, flight information and other relevant information are leaked, the “illegitimate fan” can help the celebrity check in without authorization, or help the celebrity adjust his seat without authorization after the celebrity checks in, so as to achieve the purpose of sitting next to the celebrity. What's more, they cancel the celebrity's flight without authorization in order to allow the celebrity to take the next flight with him.
Nowadays, the private information of celebrities and Internet celebrities has become a “hot commodity” and formed an industry chain. Some sellers will clearly mark the price for selling celebrities’ flight information, and even their addresses, ID numbers, WeChat IDs and other private information.
If you search for "artist schedule" or "star schedule latest super talk" on some social media platforms, it is easy to find "scalpers" who are swiping the screen to solicit business. These merchants also provide instructions on how to use phone numbers and ID numbers to check celebrity flight information, and provide detailed flow charts for each step. The entire industry chain is very complete, and buyers and sellers use various abbreviations for transactions, such as "hb" = "flight", "gt" = "high-speed rail", "zj" = "document", "hj" = "household registration" Picture", "hz" = "Passport", etc.
In recent years, the police have also gradually increased their efforts to crack down on illegal and criminal activities of selling citizens’ personal information.
On November 7, 2023, the Fuyang Internet Police in Zhejiang Province discovered during their daily work that someone had established a "personal information database" robot on an overseas social platform to sell citizens' personal information.
Internet police investigation found that the hacker who violated citizens’ personal information was surnamed Wei and was 19 years old. After Wei dropped out of high school, he continued to learn computers by himself. Six months ago, he saw a message on an overseas social platform looking for cooperation in a "personal information library". Thinking that he could not only see other people's personal information, but also resell it to make money, he got in touch. the other party.
Soon, the previous company provided a source code interface, Wei Mou also made a self-made "robot" that can automatically perform fee transactions, which can be forwarded to various social groups in large quantities, especially celebrity fan groups .
Yang Ming, a policeman from the Internet Police Brigade of the Fuyang Branch of the Hangzhou Public Security Bureau, said, "The information database contains a large amount of data on celebrities and Internet celebrities. There are about a hundred popular stars. As long as you enter the name, the association will be automatically returned The more information you enter, the more accurate the information provided."
With the successful implementation of a large number of citizens' personal information transactions, Wei felt that the risks were high. So he recruited two more transaction collection agents and made profits through virtual currency conversion. But in the end, at the end of November last year, Fuyang Internet Police rushed to Guangxi and arrested three suspects, including the principal culprit Wei. Currently, criminal measures have been taken. enforcement measures.
It is understood that Wei has made more than 500,000 yuan in profit in half a year, and the Internet police obtained more than 800,000 pieces of citizens' personal information at the scene.
Also in 2023, five high-speed rail station employees were sentenced by the Nanhai District People's Court of Foshan City, Guangdong Province for infringing on citizens' personal information.
Starting from January 2019, the defendant Chen and others took advantage of their position as passenger carriers at railway stations to query and sell personal information such as travel times, train numbers, seats, etc. of "celebrities". Chen made a total profit of approximately 190,000 yuan. The court sentenced the defendant Chen and others to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 9 months to 3 years and 8 months and fined for the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information. After the verdict of the first instance of the case was announced, the defendant Chen and others appealed, but the appeal was ultimately dismissed and the original verdict was upheld.
According to Article 253-1 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, anyone who violates relevant state regulations by selling or providing citizens' personal information to others, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and shall also be sentenced to or A single fine shall be imposed; if the circumstances are particularly serious, the offender shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years, and shall also be fined. Anyone who violates relevant national regulations by selling or providing citizens’ personal information obtained in the course of performing duties or providing services to others shall be severely punished in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph. Anyone who steals or illegally obtains citizens’ personal information through other methods shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1.
I understand that I like celebrities, but no matter how high the individual's enthusiasm is and how considerable the benefits are, the bottom line should be to protect privacy, maintain public safety and social order. Whether it’s fans, celebrities, or the related industry chains surrounding the fan economy, they should keep this red line and not cross it.
