Recently, the Qujiang District Court in Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China, ruled on a hacker case that used government and enterprise websites as a platform for pornography. The defendant, Zhou, illegally controlled more than 150 servers (involving 157 government and enterprise units and well-known apps) through website vulnerabilities, batch-implanting malicious files, forcing redirects to overseas pornographic websites, and selling control permissions for profit. To evade tracking, Zhou rented a house and opened accounts using the identities of friends and family, arranged for accomplices to operate remotely from Cambodia and Laos, and all illicit funds were settled in virtual currencies such as USDT and dispersed into multiple cryptocurrency wallets. The procuratorate, in conjunction with the public security bureau, traced the entire chain through a digital currency tracing system, ultimately seizing virtual currencies equivalent to more than 42 million yuan, with Zhou withdrawing more than 28 million yuan in illegal gains. On April 23, the court sentenced Zhou to four years and four months in prison for the crime of illegally controlling computer information systems and imposed a fine. Zhou pleaded guilty and accepted the verdict, which has taken effect. Other individuals involved in the case are still under investigation.
