"Human flesh unboxing" is on the hot search again.

The 13-year-old daughter of an Internet company executive "opened the box" and cyberbullied others, but was "reversed from opening the box". This farce, like a mirror, reflects that the situation of personal information security in the digital age is not optimistic. The public's questions focused on: How can you easily get other people's private information at such a young age?

The internet companies involved responded that the information under investigation was not leaked from within them, but from overseas social networking sites. However, this explanation did not quell the public's doubts and concerns, but instead uncovered a reality that could not be ignored.

The media has repeatedly reported that online buying and selling of personal information has formed a black industry chain. For only a few hundred yuan, you can easily obtain other people's ID numbers, home addresses, occupations and other personal information. After the price increase, you can even check the bank card balance, social security payment records, loan limits and other highly private content. In recent years, victims have been repeatedly attacked and complained.

When personal information can be bought and sold at a blatant price, everyone is likely to be the target of "online hunting", and who can laugh it off?

In the era of mobile Internet, a large amount of personal information is collected and used legally and illegally. Protecting the security of personal information is not just a technical issue. Protecting the lawful and stopping the illegal, the state has repeatedly ordered and taken action many times, but some people ignore the national laws and regulations and continue to act recklessly.

Only by weaving a cage of dense systems, increasing the intensity of punishment, and making those who dare to act recklessly pay the price they deserve, can we maintain normal order in cyberspace.
