China has the world's largest online population. |
China has the world's largest online population, with the number of Internet users reaching 485 million by the end of June last year. In the first half of 2011, 217 million Chinese Internet users, or 44.7 percent of the country's total online population, were attacked by malware, including viruses or Trojan horses, and 121 million had the experience of having their accounts or passwords stolen.
Last month, authorities in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen launched an Internet supervision measure requiring local microblog operators to implement real-name registration requirements for users, a move designed to curb online rumors and enhance social credibility.
The National Internet Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information and the Ministry of Public Security have vowed to severely punish those who attack websites and leak personal information or fabricate and spread rumors in this regard. They have also vowed to take effective measures to protect the security of online personal information.
