SF employee jailed

AN employee of SF Express in Changsha, Hunan Province, was recently sentenced to 15 months in jail by Nanshan People’s Court for leaking the personal information of customers.

The employee of the IT department of SF in Changsha took 38,000 yuan (US$5,580) from an employee of an e-commerce company surnamed Ye in May 2015, in exchange for his account number and password, causing a leak of 200,000 pieces of customer information.

Ye was jailed for two years by a Guangzhou court. Ye and his two colleagues profited 60,000 yuan by selling the information.

The two colleagues were jailed for 11 months and eight months with an 18-month suspension, respectively.

Ex-official on trial

A FORMER deputy head of Guangming Public Security Bureau, surnamed Leng, stood trial at Luohu People’s Court for allegedly taking 340,000 yuan in bribes to harbor massage clubs between 2012 and 2013.

The alleged crimes of Leng along with five other police officers were exposed in March last year when police raided and closed four clubs that were involved in prostitution services.
