About 40 percent of internet security loopholes found in China's social welfare system have been repaired after a report published Wednesday morning said that the personal information of residents in more than 30 provinces and cities across China were vulnerable to leaks.
Â
The report from the Xinhua-run online daily business news post, Economic Information, said that the holes leave citizens' personal information¡ªincluding ID numbers, social welfare, household and medical information¡ªalmost completely open to the mercy of would-be hackers and identity thieves.
 Â
China is in dire need of a solid accountability system to ensure data security among its government agencies, said Yan Ming, a high-ranking member in the Public Security Ministry.Â
