Data leakage cases recorded by Hong Kong’s privacy watchdog increased 21 per cent last year, with hacking being the primary cause. But the number of doxxing cases has dropped significantly since legislation criminalising the act was passed in 2021, Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data Ada Chung Lai-ling said on Tuesday. Chung’s office received 246 data breach notices in 2025, a 21 per cent increase from 203 cases in the year before. Advertisement Hacking was the main cause of data leaks, accounting for 81 cases, about one-third of the total. The number of hacking cases also rose 33 per cent year on year from 61 in 2024. “In the digital age, virtually all companies store data on digital systems rather than in physical form. That is why hackers target these systems to obtain personal information,” Chung said, describing such a surge as a “global phenomenon”.

The first shipment of iron ore from the massive Simandou project in Guinea arrived at a Chinese port on Jan. 17. It would be “highly challenging” for Guinea’s massive Simandou iron ore project to meet its target of reaching full production within 30 months, a leading industry analyst said, citing infrastructure bottlenecks. The project has a designed annual capacity of 120 million tons. Its first shipment of 200,000 tons of high-grade ore arrived at a Chinese port on Jan. 17 after a 46-day voyage. Beyond that initial cargo, progress at Simandou has been limited, with delays already emerging, Erik Hedborg, principal analyst at U.K.-based commodities consultancy CRU, told Caixin in a December interview.

The US Food and Drug Administration rejected a subcutaneous version of AstraZeneca Plc ’s lupus medicine that would make it easier to administer. Astra provided the information requested in the FDA’s complete response letter, the UK drugmaker said Tuesday . It will work with the regulator and said it still hopes to progress the application as quickly as possible. The medicine, Saphnelo, is already approved as an intravenous treatment, meaning it has to be injected in a vein rather than just under the skin, which patients can do themselves. Analysts estimate the drug could garner more than $1.6 billion in annual revenue by 2031, according to Bloomberg data. Saphnelo is prescribed to treat lupus, a disease where the immune system attacks healthy tissue in the body. Over 3.4 million people are affected worldwide, according to Astra. The European Union approved the subcutaneous administration of Saphnelo in December . A late stage trial of a self-administered injection of Saphnelo showed that the drug helped to reduce disease severity compared with a placebo. The FDA is expected to decide on the updated application in the first half of this year. In the interim, the intravenous version of the medicine remains available.
