Largest ever data leak exposes over 4 billion user records
WeChat and Alipay details, as well as other sensitive personal data, were exposed to the public
https://cybernews.com/security/chinese-data-leak-billiones-records-exposed/
The largest collection, with over 805 million records, was named “wechatid_db,” which most likely points to the data coming from the Tencent-owned super-app WeChat.
The second largest collection, “address_db,” had over 780 million records containing residential data with geographic identifiers. The third largest collection, simply named “bank,” had over 630 million records of financial data, including payment card numbers, dates of birth, names, and phone numbers.
Possessing only these three collections would enable skilled attackers to correlate different data points to find out where certain users live and what their spending habits, debts, and savings are.
Another major collection in the dataset was named in Mandarin, which roughly translates to “three-factor checks.” With over 610 million records, the collection most likely contained IDs, phone numbers, and usernames.
Meanwhile, a collection named “wechatinfo” contained nearly 577 million records. Since WeChat user IDs were stored in a separate collection, wechatinfo most likely had metadata, communication logs, or even user conversations.

General He Weidong, once the second-highest-ranking officer in China’s military and a close ally of President Xi Jinping, has been purged—three months after vanishing from public view.
He was vice chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), the top body overseeing the People's Liberation Army (PLA), and a Politburo member. His sudden downfall marks the first time a sitting CMC vice chairman has been purged since the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s.
This continues a broader purge within the PLA under Xi. Since the early 2010s, multiple high-ranking generals—including Guo Boxiong, Xu Caihou, and Fang Fenghui—have been arrested, imprisoned, or died under investigation. Another, Zhang Yang, committed suicide in 2017 while facing charges.
