A former NetEase employee has been sentenced for illegally accessing and selling virtual assets from dormant accounts in the online game Fantasy Westward Journey. Liu Moujia, who worked as a review supervisor in the Customer Service Delivery Department's Account Management Group since July 2013, exploited backend administrative privileges to gain login credentials for 171 inactive accounts between 2019 and 2023 [1]. Over this four-year period, he illicitly obtained 1,736,068.87 yuan by selling in-game characters and items from these compromised accounts [1].
The Tianhe District People's Court in Guangzhou convicted Liu under the charge of illegal acquisition of computer information system data, sentencing him to three years imprisonment with a three-year probationary suspension and a fine of 20,000 yuan [1]. The court determined that the case involved "especially serious circumstances" based on the scale of illicit proceeds [1]. Liu was arrested on March 13, 2024 [1]. His family has made full restitution of the illegally obtained funds, and the victim company has granted forgiveness [1].
