In 2021, the national public security organs further promoted the "Net 2021" special action, in response to the personal information protection issues of concern to the people, and made every effort to organize investigation and crackdown work.

At that year, the Liaoning public security organs cracked the case of Shi and others illegally obtaining citizens' information to register game accounts and selling them to minors. In this case, the Liaoning Public security network security department investigated and found that a network technology company in Shandong purchased citizen information from the Internet, and with the technical support of a gang in Fuxin Stone, Liaoning, broke through the verification mechanism of the game company, illegally registered more than 18,000 real-name online game accounts, sold them to minors, and illegally made profits of more than 1.7 million yuan. This case was compiled into the Ministry of Public Security issued "The Year of Combating the crime of infringing citizens' Personal Information: Ten Typical Cases".
