China's Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) on Monday released a batch of typical cases centered on people's livelihood, covering prominent issues including doxing — the act of illegally obtaining and disclosing others' sensitive personal information, with one suspect in the case obtained up to 600 million sets of citizens' personal information, according to CCTV News.

One of the cases involved several individuals, including Lin, who engaged in online doxing and was charged with infringing on citizens' personal information. From 2023 to 2025, Lin and other suspects illegally obtained a large amount of citizens' personal information through internet channels such as encrypted communication tools and sold it for profit via virtual currency payments, according to the release on SPP's website.

Upon investigation, Lin was found to have illegally obtained more than 600 million sets of citizens' personal information. Others involved, surnamed Wang and Liu, illegally obtained more than 300 million sets and 15 million sets, respectively.

In 2025, several of the gang built a database website with the illegally obtained information. The database contained more than 170 million sets of citizens' personal information, and the perpetrators illegally provided such information more than 1,300 times. The website recorded over 100,000 visits.

The SPP released the criminal facts of Lin and others of illegally using information networks. For example, Lin and another suspect surnamed Wang, in collusion with others, set up groups using overseas encrypted communication tools, and posted illegal content, including infringement of others' privacy and abusive messages.

Procuratorial organs in Beijing prosecuted Lin and four others on the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information and illegally using information networks in October 2025, according to the release.

The typical cases also include a cross-border telecom and online fraud case, in which suspects recruited personnel in the Philippines to form a cross-border fraud group and engaged in online click-farming fraud activities using apps, as well as a series of supervision cases concerning false litigation over labor relations confirmation.

At a press conference on the same day, the SPP announced the key measures and achievements of national procuratorial organs in advancing the 2025 special campaign to enhance procuratorial protection for people's livelihoods.

According to the SPP, authorities have safeguarded minors' healthy growth, with both juvenile crime and crimes against minors have decreased, and protected the legitimate rights and interests of women, the elderly, the disabled and other groups in accordance with the law, strengthening public interest litigation supervision on barrier-free environment construction in key scenarios.


Procuratorial organs also have strengthened supervision over civil final execution procedures and carried out in-depth supervision over administrative non-litigation enforcement in the social security field to help solve problems such as wage arrears and insurance arrears, according to  CCTV News. 

Efforts to eliminate wage arrears were further consolidated, and protection for workers in new forms of employment was also intensified, according to the SPP. From January to November 2025, a total of 50,300 cases requesting support for prosecution were accepted. After  review, 34,000 cases were granted support for prosecution. More than 850 cases involving over 960 people were prosecuted for the crime of refusing to pay labor remuneration.

Procuratorial organs have made great efforts to promote the procuratorial public interest litigation supervision campaign related to food and drug safety. From January to November 2025, a total of 24,029 public interest litigation cases involving food and drug safety were filed, accounting for 19 percent of the total number of public interest litigation cases.
