Preemptive measures required to curb the trade in personal info by insiders

MORE THAN 300 MILLION PIECES of delivery information from SF Express, one of the largest express delivery companies in China, are being sold on the internet. The information includes names, telephone numbers and addresses. Beijing News comments:

The protection of personal information faces unprecedented challenges in the information age, as technology makes it much easier to steal and trade massive amounts of personal data. This is only the latest serious personal information leak.

Statistics show China has 52 laws, 42 administrative laws and rules, 50 judicial interpretations, 870 government department rules, 43 social organization rules, and 171 industrial regulations on personal information protection.
