Billion-record stolen Chinese database for sale on breach forum
A threat actor has taken to a forum for news and discussion of data breaches with an offer to sell what they assert is a database containing records of over a billion Chinese civilians – allegedly stolen from the Shanghai Police.to a forum at Breached.to. The post makes the following claim:
In 2022, the Shanghai National Police database was leaked. This database contains many TB of data and information on Billions of Chinese citizens.as a PDFHackerDan released sample datasets: one containing delivery addresses and often instructions for drivers; another with police records; and the last with personal identification information like name, national ID number address, height, and gender.
China has a national police force, and that presumably has a Shanghai office. But an entity called the"Shanghai National Police" is hard to find. Media outlets were nonetheless able to verify that the contents of the sample - whatever the source - describe actual people. Gigantic civilian data leak if confirmed: A hacker is selling an alleged Shanghai police data leak containing 1 billion Chinese nationals' names, home addresses, ID #, phone #, criminal records, etc. Hacker says it's from an Aliyun private cloud server.
