The problem

The problem isn't a company that sells your information because guess what that's been going on for a few centuries. The only difference is they can transmit more data in a reasonable period of time.

The problem is criminal activity. Data is just a collection of bits and bytes until somebody does something to convert it into information and then acts on that information. If the act is criminal then it's a problem if it's not criminal it's not a problem. The key here is to catch and punish the people who engage in criminal acts. The problem is there is a large jurisdiction that doesn't consider much that their citizens do online as criminal, stealing, cheating and scamming seem to be an acceptable part of the Chinese business ethic. I suspect the trick is going to be to stop doing business with theives, scam artists and con men as a whole. Unfortunately, the rewards from theft, scams and confidence games are too great from them to be stopped completely.
