A Weibo user sparked online outrage after allegedly doxing multiple Chinese netizens who had criticized her comments about K-pop star Jang Won-young. The user reportedly obtained personal information about other internet users, including details of a pregnant woman, through illegal data scraping and incited online harassment against them. Why it matters: Baidu’s official response showed a troubling reality: the severity of data leaks has exceeded many people’s expectations. Baidu’s investigation claimed the minor obtained information from overseas “social engineering databases” – illegal compilations of personal data – contradicting online rumors that she accessed Baidu’s systems. Previously, a screenshot circulated online claimed that the individual admitted to receiving a database from her Baidu executive parent.
