July 5, 2022, 1:06 PM UTCA hacker has claimed to have procured a trove of personal information from the Shanghai police on 1 billion Chinese citizens, which tech experts say, if true, would be one of the biggest data breaches in history.
“In 2022, the Shanghai National Police database was leaked. This database contains many TB of data and information on Billions of Chinese citizen,” the post said. Reuters was also unable to reach the self-proclaimed hacker, ChinaDan, but the post was widely discussed on China’s Weibo and WeChat social media platforms over the weekend with many users worried it could be real.Kendra Schaefer, head of tech policy research at Beijing-based consultancy Trivium China, said in a post on Twitter it was “hard to parse truth from rumour mill.”
He said on Twitter that a leak could have happened due to “a bug in an Elastic Search deployment by a agency”, without saying if he was referring to the Shanghai police case. He did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
