China will launch a nation-wide campaign to eliminate online services and materials that help fraudsters, according to the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) on Tuesday.
During the campaign, which will run until September, police will search for services such as those that offer the account-stealing Trojan virus; information exchange or information on hacking; trade of ID and bank account information; and falsified certification, among others.
The MPS, said cyber scams and cyber theft had become rampant in recent years, and offenders often go online to obtain the tools needed.
Moreover, police will also remove information pertaining to cyber fraud off the Internet.
