I'm not aware that the Chinese Government is obligated to disclose breaches.



That's a good point; though I am now wondering if the Equifax breech got noticed before it was owned up to.

Going back to the higher point; I do wonder what the Chinese Govornment's track record on cyber security actually is, compared to what we more usually hear reported.


I don’t know if I would go public in China if I noticed a breach like that. I have never lived there, but I imagine the climate encourages a bit more discretion.


A major breach would probably surface on the dark web or other places


Not if it was done by an intelligence agency that intends to keep it secret.
