The biggest data theft in Chinese history. Hackers offer data on 1 billion Chinese for 10 bitcoins
According to Bloomberg, hackers claimed to have stolen data on a billion people in China after hacking into the Shanghai police database. Industry experts are calling it the biggest cybersecurity breach in the nation’s history.
According to an anonymous posting on an online cybercrime forum, the person or group who reported the attack offered to sell more than 23TB of stolen data from the database, including names, addresses, places of birth, national ID cards, phone numbers, and criminal case information. An unknown hacker asked for 10 bitcoins worth about $200,000.
The scale of the alleged leak shocked the Chinese security community. Zhao Changpeng, founder and CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, tweeted on Monday that the company had discovered a billion residents of “one Asian country” had been leaked, without specifying which one, and has since stepped up verification procedures for potentially affected users.
Shanghai authorities have not publicly responded to the alleged hack. Officials from the city’s police and China’s Cyberspace Administration, which is responsible for the country’s internet surveillance, did not immediately respond to faxed requests for comment.
The US and other countries have repeatedly named China as one of the world’s largest sources of cybercriminals, who they say infiltrate systems on behalf of local agencies in search of valuable data or intellectual property.
It is not clear how the alleged cyberattacks this month gained access to the servers of the Shanghai police. One popular theory circulated online among cybersecurity experts was that a third-party cloud infrastructure partner was involved in the hack. The country’s largest external cloud services include Alibaba, Tencent and Huawei.

Lenovo’s first AI laptop will be very quiet, but not always. Details about Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024

Lenovo has published a teaser dedicated to its first AI laptop – Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024. One of the main features of the device will be low noise level.
The image shows the cooling system of the Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024. Everything here is pretty standard for a model that does not have a dGPU: two heat pipes and two fans. The creators say that the minimum noise level of the system will be only 17 dBA, and this is really low. But there is a nuance: we are talking about noise at the minimum fan speed in energy saving mode. And although Lenovo says that the laptop’s performance in this mode will be high, it will still be far from what the Core Ultra processor can show in maximum performance mode.
The official premiere of the new product, apparently, will take place this week – immediately after Intel introduces the CPU Core Ultra. Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024 will receive 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, an 84 Wh battery (the predecessor has 75 Wh) and support for 100-watt charging.

The iPhone 16 and Galaxy S24 lines will not receive an increase in RAM compared to their predecessors, despite the hype around AI

Samsung smartphones from the Galaxy S24 line and devices from the iPhone 16 line will likely retain the same RAM options that current models currently have.
Analysts at Mizuho Securities, cited by insider Revegnus, say that the growing demand for AI should, in theory, contribute to the growth of RAM in smartphones. We previously reported that thanks to the emphasis on AI, manufacturers may begin to actively equip their smartphones with 16-24 GB of RAM.
However, a significant increase in memory prices, as well as the still missing scenarios for local AI that will run directly on smartphones, will lead to the fact that next year manufacturers will not actively increase the amount of memory. In particular, Samsung and Apple can leave everything as it is now.
This means that the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will each receive 6 GB of RAM, and the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will each receive 8 GB. Samsung’s new generation flagships will have 8 or 12 GB of RAM.
It is likely that other manufacturers will not rush to increase volumes, and this, in turn, may slow down the development of local AI on smartphones.
