China Prosecutors Detail Data-Sale Networks Linked to Overseas Scams

China’s top prosecutorial agency said domestic criminal networks sold Chinese citizens’ personal information to overseas buyers, exposing one route by which cross-border telecom and online fraudsters obtain data to target victims.

The Supreme People’s Procuratorate on Monday released representative cases involving the unlawful handling of personal data, including two in which suspects collected information on women property owners and job seekers before selling it abroad.
