Yeah, that is bs!

The json, although I am not a programmer, at least I know what that is. At least I think I know, lol.

Do they mean that the data from a Chinese police database was accessed via the javascript?

Police databases, are not exactly suppose to be that modern, with those legacy systems they probably using all those old languages.

There opens a possibility that the hacker did the data dump, then rebuilt the database, using more modern tools, like more recent programming languages and databases. But that opens the question whether this is all make-believe to begin with.

Each entry, is probably an object. So the attack got all the objects, and made it into a more accessible object. Maybe they did not know what the original object was like in the first place?

This story really does fit into the smear campaign of Chinese tech being unreliable spread by the Americans.

This javascript makes no sense. Sounds like bs.
If any of the names and details on the list is real, it’s orders of magnitudes more likely to have originated from Taiwan professional scam companies than Chinese police.

Chinese gov knew it from the second it was leaked. Posts about the leak is banned on weibo, that csdn blog was shortly removed, heck even WSJ already reported it.
The MSS would have already contacted the seller and is already planning a way to hunt the guy down.
If this leak is true, all the Shanghai government cyber related departments need to be thoroughly combed through once and possibly even replaced or subject to review by PLA cybersecurity units from a different province

Iran doubles oil discount for China – media​

The move aims to match the cost of Iranian crude with Russia's Urals grade, traders told Bloomberg

Iran is being forced to discount its already-cheap crude even more to compete with Russia in the Chinese market, Bloomberg reported on Monday. Sanctions-hit Tehran reportedly has few options for its crude shipments.

Traders told Bloomberg that Iranian oil has been priced “at nearly $10 a barrel below Brent futures to put it on par with Urals cargoes” that are scheduled to arrive in China next month. That compares with a discount of about $4 to $5 before February.

It is like any deal.

They selling you objects here.

Cool.

C++?

No.

JSON.

What? You mean they were using js? How old is the database really?

(At this point, the seller can only say two things. They can say yes they were using js, or they can say no they were not and they converted it).

Either way, it is very suspect at this point, to make this deal. We would need to know a lot more details about the hack before forking over any mo0-la-la.

:oops::D
Json data likely means that it is based on MongoDB

US Envoy to Beijing Urges China to Stop Spreading Russian ‘Lies’​

  • Ambassador Burns reiterates no US bioweapons labs in Ukraine
  • Russian claim has been point of tension between China, US
The US ambassador to China called on the Foreign Ministry in Beijing to stop spreading Russia’s “lies,” in an unusually direct and public rebuke by the top American diplomat in the country.

Ambassador Nicholas Burns made the “request” in response to a question at a government-backed forum Monday about what China could do to resolve the crisis over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Burns reiterated President Joe Biden’s call for Beijing to avoid helping Moscow carry out the war, before pivoting to a simmering point of contention between the world’s two largest economies.

“I would hope that Chinese foreign ministry spokespersons would stop accusing NATO of starting this war. That’s Russian propaganda,” Burns told the World Peace Forum organized by Tsinghua University. “I hope Foreign Ministry spokespersons would also stop telling lies about American bioweapons labs, which do not exist in Ukraine.

“These all came from Russia. Unfortunately, this has been picked up by the Chinese,” Burns added.

While China has said it doesn’t support the war and urged talks to end the fighting, top officials and state media have repeatedly blamed the US for provoking Russia by allowing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s expansion. Diplomats including Foreign Ministry spokespeople Hua Chunying and Zhao Lijian have also used official platforms to amplify Russian-backed conspiracy theories that the US was producing biological weapons in Ukraine.

The US denies the claims and has previously accused China of spreading disinformation, and Burns’s call came at a gathering likely to get the Foreign Ministry’s attention. Tsinghua organizes the forum with approval from the State Council and assistance from Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs, a think tank.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry didn’t immediate response to a request for comment on Burns’s remarks Monday.
Moments before Burns spoke, Andrey Denisov, Russia’s ambassador to China, praised Beijing for its “reasonable and balanced” approach and noted its continued relationship with Kyiv. “That’s why I hope China can signal to our Ukraine neighbors to be more realistic in their approach of the assessment of the situation,” Denisov said.

When Biden raises the white flag and unilaterally drops tariffs, China should raise export taxes on goods shipped to America by the same amount and name that extra the ‘Burns Tax’, since apparently calling it an Arsehole Tax is too on the nose.

If Burns comes to bitch more, double the tax and ask him if he wants to come back for round 3.

That’s the only way to deal with Anglos since it’s the only language they understand and respect.

I really hope he MSS is hunting the guy down and not just suppressing local anger while not making any changes. Fingers crossed hey they can prevent selling of the leak if it’s real but I’m not sure if the MSS is that powerful internationally like the CIA.

Copied from that hanjian sub. Not sure how the seller plans to transfer 23 TB, but I doubt in person.

Some additional information Json has been one the more popular standards protocol for communication between services, like xml was one of the bigger standard 8~10 years ago.

The Json standard is a textual representation of data which sits in memory. Going from memory to json text data is called serialisation, going from json text to memory is called deserialisation. How the data looks like in memory is something programming language dependent. Json(java script object notation) was mostly chosen because the frontend(website) can easily convert json data to javascript usable "data" which code can use to mutate and do logic on.

Given Json extensive usage to go from memory data to textual data the serialise and deserialise code has been heavily optimised so its cheap(computing wise) to read and write to json. While Json is not really a size optimised standard that is why people are switching to GRPC for backend to backend communication instead of JSON.

Im not too familiar with Chinese social media but i'm sure a capable developer could make a web scraper to scrape the friends of friends lists from social media networks create some minimal database fill it up with some auto generated data. People are more then willing to share data on social media unknowingly. Something like Cambridge analytics did with facebook to "help" trump win the 2016 election.

Edit: also this police breach seems light compared to say the Equifax data leak from 2017

At this point is there anything the Chinese govt can do to remedy the situation? Other then trying to correct the loophole in the security?

The seller is likely not in China so the MSS and chinese police has limited reach.

I really can’t think of anything they can do at this time. What a shitty situation. Man I wish they can locate the guy and just lob a missile or something and claim it was a misfire.

The Hindustan Times claims that Congress staff apparently released balloons too near to Modi's helicopter. Bhakts are obviously fuming. Childish news I think, but it's good entertainment.



For a more important news. English fans hurled racist slurs at Indian fans in a cricket match.

Why should those Indian fans receive pity? When the Chinese and Pakistanis were racially abused in the West, Indians joined in on the abuse. When they were subjected to racial abuse themselves, they get sensitive. Immature fools. Just because they white-worship better, do they actually think that they can get a free pass? Those white racists won't care. Abusing and selling out your fellow Asians always comes with a price. Indians will get little to no pity from either side.
