"Hello, is it Ms. Gu? We are a children's photography store near your home, and we have tailored a baby 100 days** for you, and now the discount is ......In February 2023, Ms. Gu, who lives in Xinbei District, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, is still immersed in the joy of becoming a first-time mother, and she frequently receives various sales pitches**. What made her feel uneasy was that the other party actually accurately grasped the child's birth hospital, date of birth, gender, parents' names, ** and other important information. Out of a sense of protection for her children and her family, she immediately reported the case to the public security organs. (China Youth Daily, January 29).
According to reports, after receiving the report, the local public security organs arrested the "behind-the-scenes" Li and his downline Lu and Liu and others. After the procuratorate initiated a public prosecution, Li and three others who leaked the newborn information were sentenced by the court to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from three years and four months to three years, and each was fined between 210,000 yuan and 80,000 yuan for the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information. Li and the other three also paid 370,000 yuan in civil compensation, and publicly apologized at the provincial level. A few days ago, Li and others, who purchased newborn information and used it for the promotion of photo studios, were further investigated by the public security organs on suspicion of other crimes.
In fact, personal information leaks are not uncommon in recent years. Taking neonatal information leakage as an example, a medical staff in Guangxi took advantage of the convenience of work to illegally ** the total amount of information on newborns and mothers reached 8More than 90,000 pieces, and "reselling" them to outsiders, illegally collecting "benefit fees". Some time ago, a number of parents of newborns in Jinan, Shandong Province received a "door-to-door photography" ** promotion, which was suspected of leaking personal information. After digging deep into clues, the public security organs arrested 13 criminal suspects, and seized more than 2,000 pieces of paper version of newborn information and more than 60,000 pieces of electronic version. Behind the leakage of newborn information, there is a black industry chain hidden.
Cutting off the black industry chain of newborn information trafficking and resorting to law is the most direct and effective way. In recent years, China has successively adopted civil law, criminal law and special legislation to build a legal barrier for the protection of the entire chain of personal information rights and interests. For example, the Civil Code has made systematic provisions on the protection of personal information in the civil field; Personal Information Protection** refines and improves the principles of personal information protection and personal information processing rules; The Criminal Law specifically stipulates the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information, which provides a strong force for severely punishing citizens' personal information. With the improvement of the legal system, many suspects who trafficked newborn information have been punished in accordance with the law.
The occurrence of this case of trafficking newborn information in Xinbei District has once again tortured the protection of personal information. Combing through some cases of newborn information being leaked, it is not difficult to find that in this black industry chain, there are "ghosts" in the industry who leak and sell personal information, some are stolen through hacker technology intrusion, and some are purchased through the Internet, and the means and methods of crime tend to be diversified. In this case, Li used hacking technology to invade a newborn information** and stole 26,663 newborn information, while Lu and Liu acted as downlines to sell the newborn information illegally stolen by Li to children's photography agencies across the country.
To prevent the leakage of newborn information, relevant ** and medical units must take important responsibility. For newborn information**, it is necessary to improve the normalization mechanism for personal information protection, promptly repair technical loopholes, eliminate potential security risks, and guide medical units to do a good job of regular account and password updates to ensure the security of newborn information. For medical units, in accordance with the requirements of the National Health Commission's "Special Action Plan for Patient Safety (2023-2025)", improve system construction and standardized management, and strengthen the protection of personal information at the source. At the same time, the relevant staff should also strengthen the rule of law education, medical ethics and medical style construction, not let the fortress collapse from the inside, once it is discovered that the "inner ghost" betrayed the information, it must be severely punished in accordance with the law. In this way, the information security of newborns can be guarded.
