Odaily Planet Daily reported that the Ministry of National Security of China issued a document saying that some overseas map companies use the method of collecting map data in exchange for virtual currency rewards to induce domestic personnel to purchase and use special equipment to "check in" maps, illegally collecting sensitive geospatial information data. , and upload it to overseas servers in real time, and even offer high rewards for specific areas to attract "collectors" to focus on collection. Some people within the country have a weak awareness of national security and are tempted by the way of making money by checking in on maps. They are unknowingly used by overseas companies with ulterior motives and become "accomplices" in their illegal collection and theft of geospatial data. In response to the above situation, the national security agencies, together with relevant functional departments, investigated and punished domestic and foreign personnel and enterprises that collected and stole China's sensitive geospatial information data, promptly blocked the illegal export of relevant data, and eliminated the risk of relevant data leakage.
