Data of 3.7 million Hong Kong registered voters stolen

Two laptops assigned to the Hong Kong Registration and Electoral Office were stolen from a locked room at the AsiaWorld-Expo on Lantau, a backup venue, right after the Chief Executive Election. The compromised information allegedly includes full names, ID card numbers, addresses and mobile phone numbers. Officials have stated the data was encrypted and no relevant information has been leaked”]
