[Selling Over 900 Million Pieces of Illegal Personal Information Using Virtual Currency and Engaging in 'Unboxing' Cyberbullying, Two Defendants Sentenced]
According to IT Home, the Supreme People's Court today released typical cases of crimes involving the infringement of citizens' personal information and related offenses. One case involved 'unboxing' cyberbullying, where two defendants illegally obtained over 900 million pieces of citizens' personal information data. Between 2023 and 2025, defendants Lin XX and Wang XX illegally acquired citizens' personal information data through encrypted communication tools and other internet channels, later selling them for profit via virtual currency transactions. Investigations revealed that Lin XX illegally obtained over 600 million pieces of personal information data, while Wang XX illegally obtained over 300 million pieces.
In 2025, defendant Lin XX, together with Wang XX (handled in a separate case) and others, used encrypted communication tools to establish a group, acting as the group administrator. Within the group, they posted illegal and criminal information targeting others, including privacy violations, insults, and abuse. The group had over 2,000 members.
