More than 300 million private chat logs and profiles of Chinese social-media users were left exposed online, and gathered by a government surveillance network, according to a Dutch security researcher.
Victor Gevers, a security researcher at the cyber-security non-profit GDI Foundation, wrote on Twitter on March 2 that he found a database containing information generated by Chinese social-media accounts, including private messages, names, identity card numbers, photos, and GPS location data.
