Fox News
The hacker posted a sample of the data on a forum and asked for 10 Bitcoin – roughly $200,000 – for the full trove of names, addresses and other personal information.
Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
The poster, using the name ChinaDan, on Sunday said the trove of information included "name, address, birthplace, national ID number, mobile number, all crime/case details."
The post remains unverified, but it has drawn immense interest within China and abroad: Users on China’s Weibo and WeChat platforms expressed great concern and distress about the truth of the claim.
