PANews reported on May 29th that, according to Xinhua Daily, hundreds of government and enterprise websites and well-known apps have been compromised, becoming "free springboards" for hacker groups to profit from. Following a public prosecution by the Qujiang District Procuratorate of Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, on April 23rd, the court sentenced the defendant, Zhou, to four years and four months imprisonment for illegally controlling a computer information system, and imposed a fine. Zhou pleaded guilty and accepted the sentence, which is now in effect.

The defendant, Zhou, exploited website security vulnerabilities to illegally gain control of over 150 servers between August 2023 and June 2025. He then used these servers to automatically redirect links to overseas pornographic websites and resold the access for profit. 157 government and enterprise websites and well-known apps were affected. All of Zhou's illegal gains were settled in cryptocurrencies such as USDT and TRX, and were dispersed and hidden in multiple encrypted wallets. Following guidance from the procuratorate, the police extracted key evidence such as mnemonic phrases and login passwords for the cryptocurrency wallets, and seized cryptocurrency worth over 42 million RMB. On January 21st of this year, Zhou voluntarily pleaded guilty and returned over 28 million RMB of illegal gains. Other individuals involved in the case are still under investigation.
