A massive store of data containing information on about one billion Chinese residents could be one of the biggest breaches of personal information in history.

Portions of the leaked data appeared last week on a known cybercrime forum from someone selling the cache for 10 bitcoins, or about $200,000, and was allegedly siphoned from a Shanghai police database stored in Alibaba’s cloud.
