In December 2012, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress promulgated the "Decision on Strengthening the Protection of Network Information", which incorporated the protection of personal electronic information of citizens into the legal level. In July 2013, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology formulated and promulgated the Regulations on the Protection of Personal Information of Telecommunications and Internet Users. In addition, the "Amendment to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China (9)", which came into effect at the end of 2012, also specifically created a "crime against the personal information of citizens", in which the maximum penalty for criminal suspects is seven years. The formulation of these laws and regulations has played a positive role in deterring telecommunications fraud criminals.

Cracking down on telecommunications fraud is not the responsibility of the public security department. It needs to coordinate and coordinate the various links of the telecommunications operators, bank finance, network supervision, industrial credit, and judicial departments, and innovate working mechanisms. Clearly define the ownership of responsibilities, act when the action is realized, and hold accountability when the accountability is achieved.
