Over 4 billion user records, including sensitive financial, WeChat, and Alipay data, were exposed in what is believed to be the largest data leak in China’s history. The dataset, comprising 631 gigabytes, was left unprotected and is thought to have been collected for surveillance and profiling purposes. Affected individuals face significant risks with no clear recourse due to the anonymity of the data's source.

Hong Kong's privacy authority is investigating a data breach at Louis Vuitton that has affected approximately 419,000 customers. The leaked data includes personal details such as names, passport information, addresses, and shopping history, although no payment information was compromised. The investigation will assess whether there were delays in notifying the authorities about the breach.
