In the nine years from 2002 to 2011, Huang Yu provided more than 150,000 documents to foreign spy agencies for money.
Of the more than 150,000 documents, 90 are national top-secret materials, 292 are confidential materials, and 1674 are secret-level materials. At the same time, Huang Yu also pulled his wife, brother-in-law and some of his colleagues out of the water.
So who is Huang Yu? What is the reason why Huang Yu betrayed the country and was willing to become a spy? In the end, what punishments did Huang Yu, as well as Huang Yu's wife, brother-in-law and others receive? This article will take you to understand the Huang Yu leak incident, which is large in number, wide in scope and deep in secrets.
Huang Yu, born on July 28, 1974, is a native of Zigong City, Sichuan Province.
Huang Yu's major in college is computer science. In the 90s of the last century, when computer science graduates were very popular.
In July 1997, the 23-year-old Huang Yu successfully graduated from university, and after graduating from college, he successfully went to work in a secret-related research institute, which mainly studied technologies related to the field of cryptography. To enter this unit to work, it is necessary to sign a confidentiality agreement, because many things are state secret materials and are not allowed to be exposed. Of course, Huang Yu also signed a confidentiality agreement, but later, he forgot about it for money.
Huang Yu is a very sociable person, more playful, but also love vanity, unruly, these personality characteristics, are the later Huang Yu colleagues to make him an evaluation. In addition, don't look at Huang Yu is good at sociability, but its performance is always counting down, why is this? Because Huang Yu's professional strength is relatively general, and his work attitude is not correct, the combination of these two situations, can do his job well is strange.
We often say that people with good communication skills are more likely to succeed. There is nothing wrong with this statement in itself, but it should be noted that basic professional ability is the premise and foundation.
After Working in this scientific research institute for a period of time, due to his mediocre ability and improper work attitude, he changed three departments in 5 years, but his performance was always behind, and according to the regulations of the last place elimination system of the unit at that time, Huang Yu would be dismissed. When Huang Yu heard the news, he was very dissatisfied, and slowly developed a revenge mentality. Huang Yu has a habit that as long as it is the scientific research materials he handles, he will secretly keep a copy. Later, in order to obtain money and express his dissatisfaction, Huang Yu used the confidential information he had privately retained in his hand as a chip to establish relations with foreign spy agencies, and then began his path of traitorous country and prosperity.
One day in 2002, Huang Yu decided to start selling intelligence, and on this day he sent a message online to the foreign spy agency he had previously contacted. Soon, after a while, Huang Yu received a reply from the other party, who said, "Please go to the lobby of a hotel in Southeast Asia on a certain day in June 2002, and when the time comes, we will send someone to contact you." ”
After receiving the other party's reply, Huang Yu was very happy, but also a little afraid, he was happy to be able to get money, afraid that his safety might be threatened. However, in the end, after some inner entanglement, Huang Yu still chose to go to the appointment.
After arriving at the agreed location, Huang Yu sat trembling in the hotel lobby and waited, and after a while, two people dressed as bosses sat on either side of Huang Yu and identified themselves to Huang Yu, and then they began to trade under the illusion of talking about business. Huang Yu copied 3 electronic documents about the military secrecy machine kept on the USB stick to the other party.
Confidential cabinets
After copying, the two fake bosses said to Huang Yu: "We are not short of money, the more information you provide to us, the more valuable it is, the more we will give you a reward." Huang Yu was very happy when he heard this, and he immediately said that he would bring intelligence the next day. In this way, they agreed to still meet here the next day to trade.
When they met again, the other party said that the information provided by Huang Yu was very valuable, hoped to further long-term cooperation, and promised Huang Yu that he would give Huang Yu a salary of $5,000 per month, and finally, he also paid a bonus of $10,000 for the first cooperation on the spot. This money was very much at the time, so after Huang Yu got the money, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and then he also expressed his willingness to work for the other party for at least five years.
In this way, under the temptation of money, Huang Yu became a spy, and from this moment on, the identity of a traitor will always accompany him for the rest of his life.
After that, in order to cover up his traitorous behavior and keep his espionage operations from being discovered, Huang Yu lied to the outside world that he was currently working in the office of a Shenzhen company in Sichuan, and usually had to go overseas for business every once in a while. Huang Yu's pretense played well and did not attract the attention of his relatives and colleagues in the original research institute.
Later, 3 months after the first betrayal of intelligence, Huang Yu's money was almost squandered by himself, so he contacted the foreign spy agencies again, claiming that he had obtained new information (in fact, it was his old information). In the end, the other party and Huang Yu agreed to conduct a second transaction in Hong Kong.
This time, Huang Yu brought more and updated confidential information, similarly, the other party also gave Huang Yu a lot of remuneration, after the completion of this transaction, Huang Yu did not rush back, he took these honorariums, in Hong Kong for a few days before returning home.
After returning home, he lied that this time he was going to a meeting, so his wife did not have too many doubts, and this also made Huang Yu more unscrupulous, and he felt that he was well hidden and could continue to do it.
At the beginning of the second year, in January 2003, Huang Yu and the other party met for the third time in Southeast Asia.
At this meeting, the other side attached great importance to it, a total of 5 people came, but instead of saying that they attached great importance to Huang Yu, it was better to say that they attached great importance to the intelligence brought by Huang Yu. After the transaction, these 5 people also conducted a full range of spy training for Huang Yu, they wanted Huang Yu to steal more intelligence, Huang Yu happily agreed to the training of the other party, and, driven by money, Huang Yu learned very quickly, and within a few days, he mastered a lot of methods and techniques for stealing intelligence.
In the following years, Huang Yu would go abroad almost every year under the guise of a business trip, and successively sold a large amount of stolen classified information to spy agencies abroad.
In order not to attract the attention of our counter-espionage department, when Huang Yu generally goes abroad on business, he will pretend to take his relatives, friends and colleagues to travel, but in every foreign trip, Huang Yu will mysteriously act alone for a day or two, pretending to go to a meeting, in fact, he is going to meet with the spy agency.
By 2007, Huang Yu's previous secret information had been basically sold out by him, so he set his sights on his relatives, friends and colleagues. His first goal is his old colleague Wen Mou when he was working in the research institute, Wen Mou directly refused after listening to Huang Yu's hints, but Huang Yu was not willing, he continued to find Wen Mou several times in a row, hoping that Wen Mou could disclose information, but he was rejected by Wen Mou, Huang Yu, when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately made a verbal threat to Wen Mou, and finally, unfortunately, Wen Mou was afraid of being involved, so he did not report this matter to the leader, and this, It also gave Huang Yu the opportunity to continue his traitorous actions.
After that, Huang Yu turned his target to his wife Tang Mou, Who works in another secret-related unit, and she is the data manager in this unit, so Tang will often be exposed to secret-related materials. Huang Yu was worried that his wife would stop his behavior, so he did not ask his wife directly for the information. Instead, he pretended to be kind and asked her wife to back up on her computer when she usually sorted out the data, and if the data was lost, there was a guarantee. After listening to Huang Yu's suggestion, Tang Mou did not suspect it, and he happily followed the advice given to him by Huang Yu.
Later, one day, Huang Yu took advantage of his wife's absence to secretly open his wife's computer and copied the information on the computer. After successfully winning from his wife, Huang Yu, who was confused by money, did not give up and stop there. Soon, he fixed the next "prey" on his brother-in-law Tan.
Tan served as a chief engineer in the unit where Huang Yu worked before, in order to avoid data loss, Tan also used to copy the data of the unit to the laptop and back it up. Huang Yu also always knew that his brother-in-law's computer had secret information, but he never found the opportunity to contact his brother-in-law's computer. Later, not long after, Huang Yu finally waited for the opportunity, one day, the computer in Tan's home was broken, so he called Huang Yu to help repair, Huang Yu got the news, very happy to come to Tan's home, he took advantage of his brother-in-law's lack of attention, using the spy USB drive given to him by overseas agencies, secretly copied a copy of the information in Tan's computer, and he succeeded again.
In this way, after stealing the information in his wife and brother-in-law's computer, Huang Yu, at the end of 2007, met with the foreign spy agency again, but this time, Huang Yu did not get much remuneration, because the other party claimed that the information brought by Huang Yu this time was not from the military industry and science secrets, and the value was not too high.
In view of the reduction of the honorarium, although Huang Yu was dissatisfied, he did not dare to say anything.
Later, after returning to China, Huang Yu decided not to wash his hands, and his heart was also very afraid, because once he was discovered, he would go to jail or shoot him.
However, a few months after Huang Yu returned home, he began to think crookedly again, why? Because it was too easy to make money by selling intelligence, he also developed the habit of spending money lavishly, so the money he earned from selling intelligence last time was quickly spent by him. At this time, Huang Yu, who has been corrupted by money, is impossible to find a job and live steadily.
Later, in order to earn a high salary, Huang Yu set his sights on another secret-related scientific research institute, he used the relationship of the original unit to steal the information on Zheng's computer, and also let Zheng and others inquire into the final research dynamics of this scientific research institute, and Huang Yu also stole some internal publications of the scientific research institute. After that, all these materials were packaged up by Huang Yu and sold to foreign spy agencies.
However, although Huang Yu is well disguised, he will eventually leave clues of crime.
In 2011, state security agencies seized evidence of Mr. Huang's crimes and arrested him.
Huang Yu was arrested
After Huang Yu was arrested, the security authorities immediately conducted a major search of his home, and found a large amount of evidence of Huang Yu's crimes. Huang Yu's passport was stamped with a lot of dense customs seals, Huang Yu left the country so many times, almost all of them were to sell intelligence to foreign spy organizations, and later according to the investigation, Huang Yu obtained a total of more than 700,000 US dollars in honorariums through the betrayal of intelligence.
From the perspective of this number of honorariums, the value of the intelligence betrayed by Huang Yu can be said to be very large, and at the same time, this also indirectly shows that the harm caused by Huang Yu to our country is also very large.
For these criminal facts, Huang Yu confessed.
In the end, Huang Yu was sentenced to death for "espionage crimes", deprived of political rights for life, and confiscated all his remaining espionage funds; in addition, Huang Yu's wife, Tang Mou, and brother-in-law Tan Mou were also sentenced to five years and three years in prison for "negligent disclosure of state secrets". In addition, the 29 people involved in the unit where Huang Yu originally worked were also punished accordingly.
In response to this Huang Yu spy case, I personally have 3 views, and I would like to share them with you here.
First, in order to vent his dissatisfaction and satisfy his material desires, Huang Yu chose to betray his country as a spy, and his practice not only buried his young life, but also caused great damage to his family, and the most serious thing was that he seriously damaged the interests of the country and even involved the security of the country. Therefore, I think that there is no reason to excuse Huang Yu, and he will be forever nailed to the column of shame of history.
Second, the Huang Yu espionage case also reflects some problems that we have to pay attention to, the most important of which is that the secrecy of secret-related units, especially the classified information in the military industry and high technology, must be absolutely highly valued and cannot be stolen by spies.
Third, in fact, after checking Huang Yu's information, I have another feeling, Huang Yu thought about turning back to the shore in the middle of the way, but at that time, his heart had been corroded by the money that was easily obtained, and it was already difficult for him to turn back to the shore. In life, we should not overestimate our own self-control ability, and try not to touch things that should not be touched, because some things really cannot be touched, and once we touch them, they will be out of control, they will not be able to turn back, and in the end, the pit is themselves. These untouchable things refer to things that can be very addictive, very harmful to one's body, and damage one's own family. There are many such things, and I will not say more about what they are.
