Hong Kong Police Complaints Data Leak Puts City On Edge
John Leyden writes on The Register:
The personal details of 20,000 people who made complaints about the police in Hong Kong have leaked onto the net. The apparently accidental leak of personal data submitted to Hong Kong's Independent Police Complaints Council (IPPC) has caused a huge flap in the Chinese city.More here.
The database contained full details of complaints made from 1996 to 2004. Information included dates of complaints, the full names and addresses of complainants, details of alleged offences, names and other particular of allegedly bent cops, outcome of complaints and more. The breach was unearthed by webb-site.com, an independent site that monitors Hong Kong's corporate and economic governance.
