An anonymous hacker claims to have the records of one billion Chinese residents that were obtained from Shanghai’s police database, and is offering it for sale for approximately $200,000. While neither authorities nor hacker contact information have confirmed the claim so far, it comes just when China has promised enhanced data protection.

A recent Qonsent poll of 1,000 US consumers and more than 100 marketers found that 94% of consumers want control of data they share with companies, and 66% ranked this as very important. The privacy and consent platform company also found that 78% of marketers believe impending privacy laws will lead to less engagement.
