18 ＂black broadband＂ dens have been smashed with ＂black broadband＂ and there is a risk of personal information disclosure.

Reporter Zhang Luyao, correspondent Lai Xuequn, Zhang Yitao and Liang Rongzhong’s photo report: The reporter learned from the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau on the 11th that recently, the Guangzhou police deployed police forces in conjunction with China Telecom Guangzhou Branch to carry out a unified network-closing operation on illegal Internet broadband (hereinafter referred to as "non-wide") criminal dens hidden in various districts of Guangzhou, destroying 18 "non-wide" dens and bringing back 26 suspects, including 8 suspects.

Since November 2017, Guangzhou police have carried out special work to crack down on "non-lenient" crimes throughout the city.

It is understood that "non-broadband", also known as "black broadband", refers to the behavior of individuals or enterprises without the qualification to operate telecommunications services, and by reporting large broadband to the three regular operators, splitting multiple broadband through optical distribution equipment and reselling it to users, from which they obtain high economic benefits. The behavior of "non-lenient" operators is suspected of illegal business operation according to the criminal law and the highest judicial interpretation, and the maximum sentence is five years in prison.

According to the police, this special action focuses on investigating and cracking down on the following four types of illegal and criminal activities: "non-lenient" illegal and criminal activities; Violent anti-law, illegal and criminal activities caused by "non-leniency"; Illegal and criminal activities such as telecom fraud and infringement of citizens’ personal information caused by "non-leniency"; Criminal activities involving black and evil that wantonly obstruct the normal FTTH project construction and business development.

On the morning of December 20th, Guangzhou police, together with China Telecom Guangzhou Branch, launched a network-closing operation in Guangzhou, destroying 18 "non-wide" dens, arresting 26 suspects and detaining 8 people in criminal detention according to law.

Guangzhou police reminded the general public that "black broadband" is extremely harmful, and the behavior of individuals or enterprises without telecom business qualifications to operate broadband belongs to "black broadband". If citizens find that they are selling "black broadband" by pretending to be a communication department, they should promptly report to the local telecom (branch) company and the Guangzhou police. The Guangzhou police will actively check and hold the relevant personnel accountable according to law.

At the same time, the Guangzhou police hope that the general public will actively report all kinds of criminal clues. The Guangzhou police will strictly keep secrets and protect the safety of informants according to law. Reporting telephone number: 110.

"Black Broadband" Risk: Personal information may be leaked at any time.

(1) Risk of disclosure of personal information:

All users of "black broadband" share a local area network, and the managers of "black broadband" are the "network managers" of these users, who can operate Trojan horses to invade at any time, which brings great information security risks. Because the installation of "black broadband" is not a one-to-one independent IP address, many households in a corridor or a community use the same IP address, which is equivalent to forming a local area network. Once someone in the network uses hacker software, computer hard disk information and user accounts are extremely risky.

(2) Real name traceability risk:

The registered address of "black broadband" is in the so-called "computer room", but the actual user addresses are distributed in hundreds of ordinary residential houses or shops. If criminals carry out online banking theft and publish illegal and criminal information through such "black broadband", it is difficult to trace the source of the information.

(3) Fire safety risks:

There are strict regulations on the construction and installation of regular broadband networks, while the "black broadband" optical fiber network cables are randomly pulled according to the user’s address, and there is basically no wiring project, which seriously affects the city appearance and environment. Some illegally connected optical fibers are put on the power grid to pull wires, and the switching contacts can steal electricity from the power grid, while the chassis boxes are also on the external walls, and there is no protective device to prevent rain or thunderstorm weather, which has potential safety hazards.

How to distinguish between true and false broadband

(1) Don’t be greedy for petty gain: Please don’t be greedy for cheap broadband when you sign up for installation. Too low a price is likely to be a fake shared broadband.

(2) Regular installation process: During installation, the regular telecom broadband is commissioned by the telecom installation master, not by the private company itself. When the installation is completed, there is a work order to be signed by the customer and given to the customer. This work order is the broadband construction order of the operator, not the work order of the agent company name.

(3) Online verification: After the broadband is installed, you can log in to the telecom online business hall with the broadband account number and password. If you enter the broadband account number and password, it means that there is no such user, which means that you are not enjoying the broadband formally.

(4) Customer service hotline approval: You can call the customer service hotline of a regular operator (such as China Telecom’s 10000 number) to inquire about broadband information. If the customer’s name is registered, you can report your name and ID number to the customer service staff for inquiry. If the broadband is registered by a government and enterprise company, you can use the company name and business license number for inquiry. If there is no such user, it means that it is not a regular exclusive broadband.

According to the relevant provisions of the Network Security Law of the People’s Republic of China, which came into effect on June 1, 2017, network security concerns the national economy and people’s livelihood, and network operators should provide safe and reliable network access services that comply with laws and regulations; "If the user does not provide real identity information, the network operator shall not provide relevant services for him."
