30 people sold 600 million pieces of personal information and made a profit of more than 8 million yuan. What's the use of personal information being sold?

With the increasing utilization of data, on the one hand, it brings convenience to people's lives; On the other hand, it also brings some problems to people's lives. Information leakage has always been a topic of public discussion. Recently, it was reported that someone sold 600 million pieces of personal information and made a profit of more than 8 million. Many people have doubts about the use of personal information sold.

First, it is used for advertising promotion. Many people will think that the current software is more and more humanized and the design is getting better and better. In fact, a large part of this credit is attributed to big data. Through the information you upload, analyze your preferences and explore your needs, so as to push what you think you may like or need purposefully. I believe that most people will appreciate the convenience that big data brings to our lives. However, everything has two sides. It brings convenience to our life, but it also brings some problems. For example, our information is not used properly, and we often see some harassing calls or sales calls. These are almost typical examples of improper use of data.

Second, the risk of personal financial loss So far, according to the police or official media, there are still many criminal acts about using big data to form financial fraud. There are more and more ways to use data now, which is an opportunity for those lawless elements who are good at using data. They may steal your information through some passwords or your email address when you log on to this platform once, so as to achieve their purpose, profit from it, and then cause your financial loss, so people should guard against this risk.

Third, the risk of being involved in unknown cases Because many people's legal awareness or awareness of prevention is not strong enough, it is very dangerous for the public to use your information in some illegal cases. There are actually many such things, so on the one hand, people should guard against this risk; On the other hand, the state should also strengthen data security measures.
