Ecological prosperity leads to civilization prosperity. Ecological security is an important part of national security and an important guarantee for sustained and healthy economic and social development. In recent years, some foreign NGOs or foundations, under the banner of "project investigation and research" and "ecological governance and protection", have illegally collected and stolen geographical, meteorological, biological and other sensitive data from important nature reserves on the mainland, bringing risks and hidden dangers to the security of mainland countries.
Have an axe to grind
"Hello, I am a professor from country X, and I have made a special trip here to carry out transnational academic exchanges, and I would like to investigate the local ecological environment with you and provide you with generous financial remuneration!" Under the leadership of locals, the self-proclaimed professors of country X have installed a number of instruments and equipment for "inspecting the ecological environment" in a national wetland reserve and forest farm on the mainland, set up a number of small observation and test sites, and illegally collected a large number of sensitive data on geography, meteorology, biology and other sensitive data in important nature reserves on the mainland.
On the basis of leads, state security organs, in conjunction with relevant departments, are to promptly carry out work to stop illegal activities in a timely manner. Professor X of country X confessed to the fact that he used academic cooperation as a cover to collect and steal security data in non-traditional fields on the mainland. The state security organs, in conjunction with relevant departments, are to handle Professor X and other persons involved in the case in accordance with law.
Restless kindness
With the support of foreign NGOs, a foreign university carried out so-called scientific research "project cooperation" in the field of natural ecology with the scientific research and management unit of a national nature reserve in the southwest of the mainland, and used methods such as interest solicitation and pornography to lure our personnel into the water, and instructed and coerced them to cooperate with the illegal theft of all kinds of sensitive data in the mainland nature reserve.
The work of the State security apparatus found that the NGO had a complex background. In fact, under the cover of carrying out project cooperation, a large Western country illegally collected and stole the core sensitive data resources of the mainland nature reserves without the approval of any department on the mainland, and obtained a large number of geographical, meteorological, biological and other sensitive data and pictures in the important nature reserves of the mainland by installing weather stations, laying infrared camera equipment, carrying out GPS surveying and mapping, and stealing confidential computer data in the core areas of the mainland nature reserves in violation of regulations, causing serious harm to the ecological security of the mainland.
Be careful
At present, the digital informatization of the ecological environment in the mainland is advancing steadily, providing strong support for maintaining national ecological security, but it also faces some risks and challenges. The work of the state security organs has found that some enterprises and institutions in the field of ecology and environment have certain risks of leakage of secrets in the process of collecting, storing, and processing data related to the local ecological environment; There are backdoor loopholes in some ecological and environmental information systems, which have become important targets for foreign hostile forces to steal sensitive and confidential data from the mainland. Some third-party companies responsible for the R&D, operation and maintenance of the system collected, stored, and processed data related to the ecological environment in violation of regulations, bringing hidden dangers to the ecological security of the mainland.
Ensuring national ecological security is inseparable from optimizing and improving data protection related to ecological security. The state security organs will work with relevant parties to resolutely crack down on data theft activities targeting the mainland's ecological environment, assist in building protective dams, and vigorously safeguard the mainland's ecological security.
Reminder from the state security organs
The geographical, meteorological, biological and other basic data of important nature reserves in the mainland are unique and valuable data resources in the mainland, which are closely related to the ecological security, biological security, and data security of the mainland.
Article 4 of the "Counter-espionage Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that the activities of stealing, espionage, buying, or illegally providing state secrets, intelligence, and other documents, data, materials, and items related to national security and interests, or instigating, enticing, coercing, or buying state functionaries to defect, are carried out by foreign institutions, organizations, or individuals other than espionage organizations and their agents, or by instigating or instigating or funding others to commit them, or by domestic institutions, organizations, or individuals in collusion with them.
Ecological security is inextricably linked to every citizen. It is the duty and responsibility of every citizen to protect the data security of ecological resources. If you find clues about the illegal collection of ecological and environmental data, waiting for opportunities to damage the ecological environment, and other suspicious situations that endanger national security, you can report it through the 12339 national security organ report acceptance telephone, the online reporting platform (www.12339.gov.cn), or the WeChat official account of the Ministry of State Security, or directly report to the local national security organ.
