國內隱私法可以被這樣解釋: violating privacy or state-secret laws—of holding or relaying personal information of Chinese citizens. 意思是除了政府, 調查你的信用記錄都可以觸犯法律.
這裏被判刑的兩個, 花錢請人拿到了GSK 公司成員的私人財務信息.
他們自己不是GSK的, 而是就職於GSK請的專職調查公司.
大家可能記得GSK被指控在中國行賄 (不行賄你做不成生意,行賄觸犯法律). 估計因此GSK自己請人調查.
此事會有很大的影響. 其中牽涉到財務監督機構隨意改變法律定義, 無視國際審計規範:
"Chinese financial regulators classified as state secrets accounting data on locally based businesses, saying it was illegal to transmit certain auditing figures overseas even when the companies have stock listed outside China."

結論: 大奶們請人調查先生,小三銀行記錄會犯法.
