According to Article 4 of the "Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China", the interpretation of personal information is: personal information is recorded electronically or in other ways and is related to an identified or identifiable natural person. All kinds of information, excluding anonymized information. In a straightforward sense, personal information includes the identity information of natural persons, such as ID number, photo, fingerprint, facial recognition information, blood type, and personal biometric information, mobile phone number, home address, household registration location, and family relationships. , work unit, love experience, marital relationship, living habits, shopping and consumption information, etc., whether this information is recorded on paper or electronic devices, it is all personal information.

In today's society, due to the convenience of communication, personal information is leaked. Many times, this personal information is secretly sold to criminals by insiders of certain units in order to make profits. These criminals obtain This personal information will then be used to do illegal activities.

Take me for example. I bought a house in Jinke in 2014. Since I bought the house, in less than half a month, all second-hand housing agencies and loans in Kaizhou District People call me every day. First of all, these second-hand housing agencies. When they call, they ask me if the house is for sale. They say that they are from a certain housing agency and learned that I have purchased a new house, and so on. These people not only knew all my information about buying a house, but also knew my mobile phone number, my apartment type, specific location, which building, which floor, and which number. I was confused, where did they get me? House purchase information and personal information. Finally one day, I received another call from a second-hand housing agency. The caller was a friend of mine who also did this. I asked him where he got it from. He said that the house purchase information and personal information were purchased by their boss through special channels. As for which channel, he could not tell. I think this information must have been sold by someone within Jinke Group. Otherwise, second-hand housing agencies in Kaizhou would not have a copy of it. With such detailed information, the second-hand housing agency would bombard me with phone calls. After the bombing, decoration companies came next. One after another, they called me to ask if the house had been decorated. The people in these decoration companies knew my name, the location of my house, the house number and the floor plan. They knew it like the back of their hand.

The speed with which this personal information was leaked is simply shocking. Another example is that I registered an account at Tencent Micro Securities and just logged in. Oh my god, I was targeted by fraudsters. For ten consecutive years, they called me every two days, telling me which securities company they were from and that they wanted to recommend some potential stocks that could make me money quickly. I knew this was a scam call as soon as I heard it. I don’t know how they got my personal information. There are countless such information leaks in life. The country should have legislated to crack down hard. For example, I bought a motorcycle in 2011 and was immediately scammed by telecommunications. The elements obtained my personal information and pretended to be a staff member of the Chongqing Municipal Finance Bureau to apply for a subsidy for motorcycles to the countryside. In fact, I had already returned to town to handle matters related to motorcycles to the countryside and was waiting to receive the money. At this time, the scammer spoke with a Cantonese accent and said that he was from the Chongqing Finance Bureau. He asked me to go to the bank teller machine to insert the bank card and then follow his instructions. I don’t admire these scammers for other things, but I admire them. How could he get my personal information so quickly.

From my personal point of view, for these criminals who buy and sell other people's personal information, the death penalty is an advantage for them. It would be relieved if they could be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts and quartered!
