After months of careful investigation, recently, the Public Security Bureau of Huolin Gol, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, cracked a case involving more than 30 provinces and municipalities across the country, with more than 100,000 links and an amount of more than 10 million yuan, cutting off a black chain of undercurrents on the Internet.
In mid-August, the bureau discovered that someone was sending an unknown link in the QQ group. After the analysis of the evidence collected by the police, it was found that this is a new type of *** link, according to the police handling the case:
This kind of *** link spreads quickly in mobile phones, and the scope is extremely wide, it is the preferred way to attract traffic for online gambling and fraud, many people do not think so, but in fact, it has fallen into the trap of follow-up.
In order to evade traceability, each **link is only used for each device** once, and then it becomes invalid immediately, which brings great difficulties to the investigation and evidence collection.
The Huolin Gol City Public Security Bureau immediately dispatched police forces to set up a special case team, and with the continuous deepening of the investigation, the main structure, personnel distribution, and crime situation of the criminal gang were gradually found out.
With the cooperation of the best in various places, 9 criminal suspects including Li and Du have been arrested, and 663 items have been seized, and the amount involved exceeds 10 million yuan.
Behind this *** link, there is usually a deeper chain of black interests. After luring netizens, the link will be implanted into the user's mobile phone like a virus, so as to obtain a large number of personal information of the user, and then divert traffic for subsequent illegal and criminal activities such as online gambling and telecommunications network fraud.
Upon inquiry, almost all of them began to receive frequent text messages about telecom fraud or online gambling after **this**.
Therefore, this kind of link similar to fishing reminds everyone not to click on it when they see it, so as not to fall into the trap.
