A major hotel group in Hong Kong suffered a cyber attack
exposing the booking details of more than 1.2 million guests.
The hotel group management reported this to the Personal Data
Privacy Commissioner's Office and the Commissioner has launched
an investigation.
In a second mass hacking attack one of Hong Kong's largest
online shopping platforms suffered a security breach resulting in
the unauthorised access of customer information such as delivery
addresses, recipient names and contact numbers. The personal
data/confidential information of 4.38 million registered customers
was accessed but according to the group it was only a small portion
that was actually accessed but certainly there is a possibility
that names of account holders, encrypted and masked login
passwords, email addresses, recipient's names, delivery
addresses and contact numbers for orders placed between December
2014 and September 2018 might have been successfully revealed.
