China News Service, Beijing, December 31 (Reporter Zhang Ziyang) At 10 o'clock on December 31, under the unified command of the Ministry of Public Security, the public security organs of 28 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities including Beijing, Liaoning, Hunan, and Guangdong simultaneously launched a centralized network collection operation. Severely crack down on illegal and criminal groups engaged in the development of APP technology involving telecommunications network fraud.
As of 15:00 that day, 158 illegal and criminal dens were destroyed and 519 criminal suspects were arrested.
At present, with the rapid development of information technology, various APPs have become important channels to meet the needs of the people for information, investment and financial management, and loan transfers. While bringing convenience to daily production and life, they are also used by some criminals. For illegal and criminal activities.
In their work, the public security organs discovered that in order to increase the success rate of fraud, some criminal gangs of telecommunications network fraud used the banner of a formal platform to induce victims to download fake apps, and tricked the victims into investing and managing finances, applying for loans, etc. on the apps, and then defrauding them. The victim's money.
Since the beginning of this year, there has been a high incidence of telecommunications network fraud cases through false apps, which have seriously endangered the people’s property safety and social and economic order.
The Ministry of Public Security attaches great importance to this, in-depth study and judgment of the regular characteristics of such cases, conducts analysis and research on the development, packaging, and application of telecommunications network fraud APP, deploys and launches special investigations, and requires the entire chain to crack down on related black and gray industries.
After careful investigation by the task force, the public security organs sorted out a number of criminal clues, involving 28 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country, and initially grasped a large number of criminal facts and evidence.
On this basis, the Ministry of Public Security has deployed a centralized arrest operation for illegal criminal gangs engaged in the development of telecommunications network fraud APP technology, cracked down on gangs, destroyed dens, and cut the chain, and effectively curbed the high incidence of telecommunications network fraud crimes from the source.
It is understood that the telecommunications network fraud cases carried out by fraud gangs using fake apps account for about 60% of such cases. Fake apps have become an indispensable key link in the entire criminal chain, and this has given birth to a huge gray industrial chain of technology development. , A large number of criminals participated in it.
Relevant technical developers have a clear division of labor, gangs commit crimes, and "tailor-made" various APP fraud functions around the specific needs of telecommunications network fraud criminal groups. Some are responsible for writing program codes, some are responsible for purchasing domain names and renting servers, and some are responsible for APP Packaging and distribution.
After all levels of operation, the fake APP was finally sold to fraud gangs.
Subsequently, the fraud gang packaged it into a very confusing "regular" application platform based on its illegal purpose and APP features, tricking the victim to click on the link or scan the QR code to download the APP, and then implement the fraud.
The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security said that cracking down on illegal and criminal activities involving the development of APP technology for telecommunications network fraud is an important measure for the entire chain to combat the black and gray industry of telecommunications network fraud.
The public security organs will continue to maintain a high-pressure situation of cracking down on such crimes, resolutely cut off the criminal chain of providing technology, funds and other illegal services for telecommunications fraud and other illegal crimes, and earnestly safeguard the people's property safety and legitimate rights and interests.
At the same time, the public security organs reminded the general public to strengthen their awareness of prevention, not to download, click, or scan codes for APPs from unknown sources, and to protect their pockets effectively.
