The user reportedly obtained personal information about other internet users, including details of a pregnant woman, through illegal data scraping and incited online harassment against them. Internet sleuths later uncovered the user\u2019s identity as the 13-year-old daughter of Baidu Vice President Xie Guangjun by tracing an employment certificate belonging to her father that she had posted online.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> Baidu\u2019s official response showed a troubling reality: the severity of data leaks has exceeded many people\u2019s expectations. Unlike typical data breaches, this case involved a minor, raising concerns about the increasing risks of cyberbullying and information security lapses among younger internet users.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details: <\/strong>On March 19, Baidu issued an <a href=\"https:\/\/mp.weixin.qq.com\/s\/_mf3VuM5yDu5s-gpI57SLw\">official statement<\/a> on its WeChat account, addressing the controversy surrounding Xie\u2019s daughter and details of the information leak, showing its attitude towards stealing and exposing personal data.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u201cDoxing\u201d (known in Chinese as ka\u01d0h\u00e9 or \u201cunboxing\u201c) means maliciously publishing\u00a0 IDs, addresses and social media accounts.<\/li>\n<li>Baidu\u2019s investigation claimed the minor obtained information from overseas \u201csocial engineering databases\u201d \u2013 illegal compilations of personal data \u2013 contradicting online rumors that she accessed Baidu\u2019s systems.<\/li>\n<li>Previously, a screenshot circulated online claimed that the individual admitted to receiving a database from her Baidu executive parent. The company has denied this allegation.<\/li>\n<li>One of the victims in the incident filed a police report on March 18, rejecting Xie\u2019s apology via WeChat Moments and demanding a public apology. At least two victims have reported the case to authorities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Context: <\/strong>Xie Guangjun is a vice president at Baidu\u2019s Intelligent Cloud Business Group (ACG). According to Baidu\u2019s promotion records, he was promoted to this position in the company\u2019s computing network division in 2021.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/technode.com\/author\/shuangjing\/\" rel=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Avatar photo\" src=\"https:\/\/technode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cropped-IMG_1564-2-80x80.jpg\"  height=\"80\" width=\"80\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShuang is a Shanghai-based tech reporter at Technode.com, covering AI, tech company, e-commerce and retail.
