Hong Kong tech hub Cyberport has alerted police and the city’s privacy watchdog about a cybersecurity breach after a ransomware group reportedly claimed it had gained access to more than 400GB of organisational data.

Without naming a possible culprit, Cyberport on Wednesday issued a statement condemning an attack by an unauthorised third party which had infiltrated part of its computer system. The business park also said it had already taken swift action after discovering the intrusion earlier in the day.
