South China Athletic Association: Hong Kong privacy watchdog probes data breach involving loss of 70,000 members’ personal information

Hong Kong’s privacy watchdog is investigating a large-scale data breach at a prominent sports club involving the loss of about 70,000 members’ personal information, including identity card and passport details.


The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data on Tuesday also urged members of the South China Athletic Association (SCAA) to report any suspicious activity, a day after the club announced the data leak.


The breach includes possible theft of information such as members’ names, identity card and passport numbers, and addresses, as well as their contact details.
