The restoration, reselling of personal information in second-hand mobile phones has become an important 'sideline' of the industry, and even if it is not surprising, it will require the judiciary to shine its sword in a timely manner and use cases to popularize the law.
You deleted the information in your phone, or even restored the factory settings, and sold it as a used mobile phone. However, the telecom fraudsters may use gray channels to recover your data, get the address book in your mobile phone, and implement it. Crime. According to the Beijing News, after a few people sold their old mobile phones to second-hand mobile phone makers, a few friends had received fraudulent messages to borrow money in his name.
Originally, the deleted data in mobile phones was recovered and the personal information was resold. A grey industrial chain has been formed. The Beijing News reporter, as a 'data information provider', joined several second-hand mobile phone repair transaction groups. Employees quoted to resell citizens' communication information '1 cent per price, 1000 from purchase'.
According to the survey, 80 yuan will be able to restore all deleted private photos and contacts. This has become a 'secondary industry' for the recycling of second-hand mobile phones. Even some second-hand mobile phone repairers bluntly, see beautiful female customers to repair. The phone will copy the privacy photos.
According to the current technical standards, in order to avoid repeated wear and tear on the storage device, the system deletes only the “delete” file, but in fact, it is not actually eliminated in the physical form, but through the corresponding program, These data restore. This common sense, many users do not actually know.
We thought that all the deleted information would only need to go through a process and we would be able to restore all of our privacy photos, financial data, and telephone directories. The sale of gray information on used mobile phones has become a huge crime. 1. Yuanyuan is also an important source of privacy leakage for citizens.
The survey results show that 48.26% of people will change their mobile phones within 1-2 years, and the average number of people who replace mobile phones within 6 months to a year will reach 14.33%. This day's quantity of second-hand mobile phone market, and the amount of each mobile phone , The real personal data, if not timely regulated, will seriously threaten citizens' property safety and privacy security.
It should be noted that recovering data from citizens’ second-hand mobile phones and stealing personal information constitutes a crime in itself. The Criminal Law Amendment (IX) clearly stipulates the crime of infringement of citizens’ personal information, and steals or otherwise illegally obtains citizens’ personal information. For information, if the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to imprisonment or criminal detention of less than three years and shall be concurrently imposed or a single fine; where the circumstances are particularly serious, they shall be imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and shall be fined.
Acts are not enough to self-help. Recovering and reselling personal information in second-hand mobile phones has become an important 'sideline business' of the industry. Even if it is not surprising, it requires the judiciary to shine its sword in time and to ban the law in order to punish evils. In order to stop the window-breaking effect.
It should also be noted that although the second-hand goods recycling market has always been a key monitoring area of public security management, the previous supervision was mainly aimed at preventing sales. However, after entering the information age, intangible assets such as information and privacy have become criminal targets. Related Supervision will need to keep up to date. For second-hand mobile phone repairs involving citizens’ personal information security, the sales market should be incorporated into special industries for supervision, and strict access and industry regulations should be implemented.
The personal information in second-hand mobile phones still belongs to the privacy of citizens. It has not been transferred with property rights. Recovering through unscrupulous means and reselling the information itself has already violated the “Internet Security Law” and “Criminal Law”. The dark curtain must not be tolerated. It must show the high-voltage lines of the law.
