Hong Kong Newspaper Staff Claim Photos Leaked on ‘Doxxing’ Site Linked to Chinese Travel Agency Davis ## Reporter 08/05/20 (Wed) 13:28:49 05ef42 No.263853

Staff members of a Hong Kong newspaper have claimed that their headshots posted on a “doxxing” website came from a Chinese travel agency that processes mainland visas.

Local online news outlet Stand News reported on Tuesday that photos and personal data of Apple Daily staffers had been published on a doxxing website recently. The tabloid is owned by pro-democracy media tycoon Jimmy Lai, who came under fire for supporting last year’s anti-extradition bill protests.

The website – which has since become inaccessible – contained the personal information of more than 100 Apple Daily employees. It published details including their full name, date of birth, contact number, job title and photo. The website offered HK$1,000 to 5,000 for tip-offs about “toxic journalists.”

Reporter Alvin Chan posted a Facebook status on Monday saying he believed his headshot on the doxxing website came from a photo he took in 2008. Chan said the photo was only used once when he applied for the mainland travel permit.

“In conclusion, there is only one photo source, that is the [mainland Chinese] agency,” he wrote.
