An identity card is a legal document that proves citizenship for each person.
Attentive parents may find that some children have a big "X" at the end of their ID cards.
A series of numbers with a tail "X", does this represent a male baby, a female baby?
Look at other people's ID cards, both men and women, there are also those with "Xs", but there are not many.
A child asked his father a "soul" question: "What is 'X'?" ”
The father told the child with affection and solemnity: "It is time to tell you, because you were chosen to complete a mysterious task at birth." ”
Does the "X" of the tail number of the ID card really represent a special population?
Today, Dou Mama will tell you what special meaning the "X" hidden in the tail of the ID card has.
What the id card mantissa represents with an "X"
Our ID card usually consists of 18 Arabic numerals, not to mention a string of numbers, and their arrangement is regular.
The first 6 digits are your administrative area code, 7 to 14 represent the date of birth, 15 to 16 are the police station code, and 17 digits are gender-specific codes, odd numbers are male, and even numbers are female.
The 18th bit is the check code, which is calculated according to the uniform formula, and the general resident tail number is 0-9.
When the check digit is the number 10, it is represented by an "X", taken from the Roman numeral "X.".
This is why some people's ID cards are "X".
Having such an ID card is quite special, but when dealing with business, it is really troublesome to pay little attention.
A while ago, my friend temporarily remembered that he had not yet applied for medical insurance for urban and rural residents in 2021.
In the last few minutes before the suspension of payment, she hurriedly logged on to the WeChat platform, and after binding personal basic information and entering the ID card number, the system has been showing that no personal social security information has been queried!
The friend hurriedly logged out, logged back in, and still had the same problem, which made her almost collapse.
Someone reminded, did you enter the wrong number?
The friend remembered that the tail number of her ID card was "X", and when she re-entered the capital English character "X", she successfully completed the filling.
Therefore, when filling in the identity information, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there are special requirements for the input of the mantissa "X" in order to avoid many inconveniences.
Watch out! Your ID information may be trafficked
Not long ago, the "celebrity health treasure photo was leaked" incident rushed to Weibo hot search, as long as you spend 1 yuan, you can buy the ID number of 1,000 artists, 2 yuan can pack 70 photos.
Celebrity ID card information is sold cheaply in large quantities, and the ID cards in the pockets of ordinary people are not spared.
As early as 2017, CCTV reported on the black industrial chain of reselling citizens' personal information in the QQ group.
A B station UP main broke the news, only spend 500 yuan, he can query his mobile phone owner information, that night can get their own name and ID card.
With a mobile phone number, information traffickers can almost find out a person's home!
Think about it! How is this information collected? Where did we leak our ID information?
Here are a few main ways to reveal for you:
Pathway 1: Intermediaries
All kinds of training institutions, decoration companies, and intermediary companies are required to register customer names, contact information and other information when handling business for customers.
If you are not careful, the insiders who are smoked by the interests of the insiders to illegally peddle, you can easily use the customer's identity information to trade.
Pathway 2: Manage vulnerabilities
In the Internet era, everyone's whereabouts will leave "clues" on the Internet, staying in hotels, buying tickets, shopping for goods online, doing questionnaires, applying for membership cards...
This information is registered in different management systems, some companies are poorly managed, as soon as hackers crack the system vulnerabilities and collect a large number of them, they can be sold on the black market.
Just like the endless telecommunications fraud cases, scammers grasp this information, lay down traps such as checking credit information, "refunding" online shopping products, and losing express delivery, and they can carry out crazy fraud against you.
Route 3: Old phone
Before replacing the old mobile phone, without deleting the memory and using the brushing method to completely erase the information, it is possible that the vendor will use a simple tool to recover the data, obtain the owner's ID card, address book, Alipay account and other information, and then sell it at a price of a few cents.
Pathway 4: Phishing sites
When shopping on unreliable websites and browsing web pages from unknown sources, criminals will send some links or two-dimensional codes implanted with Trojan horses to users, which can bypass security monitoring, set up pits step by step, and deceive users into providing information such as ID numbers.
Route 5: Various types of documents
Handling banking, taking a plane, buying insurance and other businesses have left us a lot of bills, there is a lot of personal information on it, such as the name of the ticket buyer, the date of birth, the TAIL CODE of the ID card, and the shopping receipt contains important information such as the bank card number.
If it is discarded without treatment, it may fall into the hands of criminals.
Route 6: Littering and borrowing ID cards
A 22-year-old college student lent his identity information to a classmate, who took a loan of 7,000 yuan, and then disappeared, and in just three months, he inexplicably carried more than 350,000 yuan in debt.
There are also people who covet small profits, "paid" to lend id cards to outsiders, are taken to register companies, and some people lose their ID cards and are fraudulently used to engage in illegal activities, resulting in having to carry a black pot for people.
Pathway 7: Information Registration
Entering the era of intelligence, the real-name system is also constantly advancing, entering Internet cafes, buying telephone cards, sending couriers, staying in hotels, and even logging on to websites, you must verify personal information.
During the epidemic period, due to the need for prevention and control, communities, office buildings, hospitals and other places have registered the information of people entering and leaving, for the elderly who cannot scan the code, manual registration information is more, if the staff is careless, it is easy to leak a lot of citizens' privacy.
Once the ID card information is leaked, you have to bear unknown risks, this risk, small is broken, large involves economic disputes, and even criminal activities, the consequences are unimaginable.

In the information age, many activities inevitably require us to register personal information, when the information is leaked, do not panic, what we can do is to stop the loss in time.
If the situation is mild, you can set the harassing phone to the blacklist for blocking, and report spam sms to the mobile phone operator.
When encountering impersonating a colleague leader, falsely claiming that "low-cost and high-return" investment activities involve money transactions, it is necessary to remain calm, communicate with relatives and friends in a timely manner, ask more questions, and prevent falling into the "trap"
Where the situation is serious, the case shall be promptly reported to the public security organs.
2. What to do if you lose your ID card
Nine years ago, a man in Guizhou lost his identity card.
Later, when he logged on to the "Personal Tax APP", he found that he had been hired by 16 companies, which shocked him, and this matter was also on Weibo hot search.
Therefore, if you lose your ID card, don't be careless, once it is used fraudulently, it may be used to engage in illegal and criminal activities, register a company, apply for a credit card, and falsely issue VAT invoices... The consequences are unimaginable.
Because the chip of the ID card stores personal information, once lost, it can only be reported as lost, can not be cancelled, and the old ID card that has been reported lost can still be used.
Therefore, it is also necessary to make up for it in time and issue relevant certificates.
If you lose your identity card due to theft or robbery, you must report the case to the police station at the place where the crime occurred at the first time.
3. How to mark the copy of the ID card is the safest
Don't think that only the ID card can "do the tricks", the ID card copy also has a legal effect.
Be sure to make a valid mark before handing over a copy of your ID card to someone else.
First, mark the photocopies with a blue or black pen.
Second, the photocopy should indicate the purpose. In general, when applying, you can write: "This copy is only for the use of ** and re-copying is not valid", and the date of the day.
Third, the annotation can be written in three lines, with a horizontal line at the end to avoid being stolen with other text.
Fourth, the label should have partial contact with the words on the ID card, but do not cover up key information such as the ID card number and name.
4. Prevention is the best protection
In the information age, the construction of a safe and civilized network environment is still being continuously improved, and for individuals, the best protective weapon is to establish a certain sense of prevention.
Here, Dou Mama wants to give everyone a wake-up call!
When surfing the Internet, try not to browse informal websites.
Post photos in the circle of friends, first blur the child's name, school and other personal information, or group and then share it.
When encountering businesses engaged in activities, be cautious about "wool", do not scan the two-dimensional code and download the APP without thinking.
In public places, the free WIFI from an unknown source should not be "rubbed", it may be a trap set by scammers.
In addition, after receiving the courier, tear off the courier bill or erase the personal information as soon as possible.
After taking the train or high-speed train, don't throw away the ticket, the QR code also hides personal information.
The ID card will stay with everyone for the rest of their lives.
Manage it well, keep it, and use it correctly in order to give yourself more security and more protection.
But the road is one foot high, the devil is one foot high, but there are times in life when it is impossible to defend.
In this regard, Dou Mama wants to appeal to the regulatory authorities: strengthen the management and prevention of citizens' information security.
Continuously improve the "Personal Information Protection Law" and other relevant laws and regulations, strengthen accountability for illegal acts such as leaking, buying and selling information, and never tolerate it!
Only by establishing a strong and powerful safety valve for the information age can we make the unimpeded information sharing era safe and secure.
ID card information accompanies everyone's life, and our daily life is closely related, do not be careless, let the bad guys take advantage of it!
