Safety Detectives’ research team has recently discovered a sizeable data leak (over 899gb and growing by the day) of a China-based server, which has now been closed. We are unable to confirm the company behind the leak, but according to the data, it appears to most likely be a marketing agency for mobile apps.
The provider of the server is Aliyun Computing Co., but they only rented the server to the company and are not otherwise involved or responsible for the leak.
What’s Being Leaked?
With what seems to be data of more than 100 mostly loan-related apps, this is no insignificant breach of trust for the users of said applications. The Elastic server exposed publicly sensitive information of Chinese citizens. [...]

In the database, the data tells us that people’s activity is being tracked, in detail. Things including a user’s IP address and duration of a given activity, call logs, SMS exchanges (including content of the SMS), and the various apps installed on the devices are all within the scope of data made available by this leak.
