The reporter learned from the Ministry of National Security that over the past period, the national security organs have innovatively carried out national security new media work, and carried out overall national security concept publicity, interpretation of national security laws and regulations, and analysis of typical national security cases for the whole society. The general public's joint efforts to understand and support national security work have been continuously gathered. However, some people with ulterior motives actually smelled "business opportunities" from it, trying to "take advantage of" the popularity of the National Security Bureau to attract attention, take advantage of the opportunity to make profits, and even illegally sell police signs of state security organs, interfering with the work of state security organs and affecting the image of state security organs.

The "Fague" organization that is vigilant about the popularity of national security consumption

According to the public, the relevant account of an online self-media company claimed to have made major breakthroughs in the anti-espionage work, and called on everyone to continue to pay attention to the relevant account of the company. The investigation by the state security agency found that the self-media company registered a batch of online accounts that frequently publish "anti-spionage and anti-espionage" content, attempting to pretend to be an official background, confuse the public and seize profits. They attracted fans and attracted attention by publishing so-called "internal information" and "decrypted information", and even induced netizens to report clues that endanger national security to them. In the name of safeguarding national security, they have achieved the reality of enhancing user stickiness and enhancing account commercial value, seriously damaging the authority of national security organs and causing adverse social impacts.

Resist the illegal sale of police signs by state security organs

The work of the state security organs found that in order to seek benefits, individual enterprises and individual online shops took risks, took advantage of the curiosity of netizens, and took advantage of the mystery of national security work, and sold illegal products and earned high profits under the banner of national security organs, causing negative impacts. An online store of an e-commerce platform takes advantage of netizens' love for the logo of the national security organs to illegally sell self-made police badges, epaulettes, armbands and other items for the national security organs, thereby increasing the store's exposure and driving other products to make rapid profits while achieving rapid online customer expansion. In order to enhance its reputation and reputation, a company violated the confidentiality agreement and revealed online that it was a cooperative supplier of national security agencies, trying to increase brand attention and expand customers and business resources, causing the risk of leakage of secrets.

These cases exposed that some enterprises and self-media practitioners have alienated the concept of national security into a "traffic source", and used "retrieving" national security traffic as a marketing method, which has damaged the credibility of national security agencies and exceeded the bottom line of the legal red line. What awaits them will be severe punishment from the law.

Tips from the National Security Organs

Article 6 of the Counter-Espionage Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that the state security organs are the competent authorities for counter-espionage work. Article 8 of the "Regulations on the Management of Internet User Account Information" stipulates that Internet users may not fake, counterfeit, or fabricate the names and logos of political parties, party, government and military organs, enterprises and institutions, people's organizations and social organizations by registering and using account information. According to statistics, in recent years, the national security organs have assisted relevant departments in investigating and punishing 237 counterfeit accounts, 46 illegal websites, and 89 relevant personnel were educated and admonished.

If the general public finds clues involving counterfeiting the account of a national security organ, illegally selling police signs of a national security organ or impersonating staff of a national security organ, they can report to the local national security organ through the 12339 National Security Agency reporting and acceptance telephone number, the online reporting and acceptance channel (www.12339.gov.cn), the WeChat official account of the Ministry of Security, or directly report to the local national security organ.
