< p > in fact, this is not the first time that Alipay has been exposed to information security leaks.

In the massive website user information leakage incident that happened in December 2011, Alipay has been exposed to similar incidents.

In recent years, the problem of user information leakage has emerged one after another.

< /p >

< p > "user safety information theft and trafficking has formed a relatively complete industrial chain, and the market demand is huge."

Lin Han told reporters in an interview with Nandu, for businesses, by buying user information, is almost the lowest cost, and the most efficient means to achieve marketing.

At present, valuable user information is broadly divided into two categories, including user's name, age, gender, contact information and other basic information, as well as user consumption records and other business information.

"Basic information is usually purchased for spam messages and telemarketing."

He pointed out that, compared with basic information, business information can achieve precision marketing through data analysis, processing and mining, and has more commercial application value.

< p > for this, a large electricity supplier marketing department said, a second line business enterprise itself has a perfect user database, does not need to buy abroad.

On the contrary, they also need strict data monitoring to prevent data leakage to the black trading chain.

"Small and medium businesses will buy phones and mailboxes for information push."

< /p >

< p > according to Lin Han, some of these messages are sold by individuals, while others are corporatization.

Generally speaking, private selling is relatively low, whereas in corporatization, information is usually excavated and packaged for two times, and the price is more expensive.

It is reported that such information trafficking industry, some even take the way of operation of the company, purchase personal or unit information from the Internet, resell other people's profits, and profit from buying personal information such as household registration, housing, vehicle and other personal information for others to provide love and marriage, debt collection, mobile location and other services.

< /p >

< p > "more accurate, valuable personal information, and even a personal a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_cj.as "> information < /a" can be sold to a few yuan or even tens of dollars.

Lin Han said that before that, due to the lax supervision of personal information, and even some peddling on Taobao, with the strictness of supervision in recent years, the companies selling information became covert, and often appeared in the market on the basis of precision marketing and data marketing.
