Upon investigation, it was found that since 2005, defendants Qiu Haipeng and Qiu Guojun exploited vulnerabilities in the China Higher Education Student Information Network, using software such as "Suxue" and "Key Press Wizard Script" to illegally enter the academic record and degree query system. In October 2008, the two defendants rented computers at an internet cafe in Xinfeng County, using "Key Press Wizard" software to illegally intrude into the China Higher Education Academic Record and Degree Management Platform, obtaining approximately 5 million graduation certificate numbers of graduates from higher education institutions nationwide in 2008. On April 23, 2009, defendant Qiu Haipeng gained administrative privileges of a national-level superuser of the China Higher Education Academic Record and Degree Management Platform, used this national-level user account to log into the China Higher Education Academic Record and Degree Information System, modified the passwords of usernames from all provinces and cities across the country, and then downloaded a total of 39.475 million pieces of academic data from 1991 onwards through provincial and municipal user identities. The two defendants profited by selling academic records and degree information.
