Stealing information full of tricks
In early May this year, residents of the jurisdiction, Xi, Li and others successively called the police that after an online loan company called "Manyihua", they made a profit and broke up and replenished the profits. They were harassed by phone, threatened and intimidated, and even used soft violence to contact their family and friends, forcing them to hide in Tibet. Speaking of borrowing experience, Li was still scared: if you borrow 3,000 yuan and get 2,000 yuan, you will have to repay 5,000 yuan in half a month.
Through investigation, the police found that there were many similar victims. At the same time, they also learned that the reporters were required to install a mobile APP before borrowing, and they could only continue to apply for the loan after operating as required.
"APP is used to steal borrower information, and loans are also full of routines. Each loan is charged 30% of the 'head interest', with an annual interest rate of up to 2235%. "Zhang Yong, captain of the Internet Security Brigade, summarized the characteristics of the "Routine Loan" in 24 words: "Seven days, doubled overdue, rolling debts, Yin-Yang contracts, loan-to-loan loans, loan-to-loan accounts!"
"In the process of investigation, we found that the secret secret APP embedded in worm virus is operated and maintained by a technology company in Hunan, and there is a connection with the 'Manyihua' online loan company." Yang Miao, deputy captain of the Internet Security Brigade, introduced, "When the borrower applies for a loan on the 'Manyihua' platform, The backend staff guided the borrower to download the secret stolen APP, and asked to provide WeChat, , Alipay, accounts and consumption records for the past three months. Then, they contacted the technology company involved in the operation and maintenance of the APP, and carried out a large amount of personal data and information theft in a paid form to achieve the purpose of risk control of the borrower. "
As of the incident, the "Manyihua" online lending company has paid more than 20,000 yuan to a Hunan technology company responsible for the secret stolen APP, and purchased more than 1,500 people including the borrower's name, ID number, telephone number, address book, call record, personal credit report, consumption record, and other various citizen information, with as many as millions of records.
Due to the seriousness of the case, Anning Public Security Bureau quickly reported the case to the provincial department and municipal bureau, and dispatched elite police forces to form a special task force to investigate the case with all efforts. With the full support and business guidance of relevant departments of the provincial department and municipal bureau, the task force found that Zhang Mou, the legal person of Hunan Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Gu Mou, the supervisor, invested more than 20,000 yuan to hire Wu Mou and Wei Mou to develop a secret stealing APP and supporting risk control system to steal citizens' personal information and provide risk control services for illegal online lending gangs.

Using fellow townsmen and relatives as a link, they gathered 12 people including Zhang and Tang to engage in "routine loan" business. They forced high debts through soft and violent means such as phone text messages, WeChat insults, blowing up address books, threatening home collection, and sending forged lawyer letters, which is completely in line with the " Characteristics of illegal and criminal behaviors of routine loans.
As of the incident, the funds flow of the gang's loan account reached more than 40 million yuan, and nearly 1,000 lenders, of which "cutting interest" made a profit of more than 1.5 million yuan, overdue fees of more than 400,000 yuan, and a total profit of more than 2 million yuan.
Based on the knowledge of a large amount of evidence, the task force decided to pay "Manyihua" company and the "routine loans" behind it The evil forces carried out precision strikes.
