In August 2018, Chinese police were reportedly investigating a data breach that involved 500 million records about customers of the Huazhu Group, which operates hotels across the country. The data lost included customer registration information, booking records and personal data. About 19% of Chinese net users had social media and other accounts hacked or lost passwords, reported the Internet Society of China in its 2018 look at online life in the nation. Phishing attacks crafted to look like they come from friends were widely used to catch people out, said the report.
