Fyi, it focused primarily on Chinese accounts. Including:

The largest collection of records most likely came from WeChat, a Chinese alternative to WhatsApp, with over 805 million records exposed.

So their credit score info? That's a wild thought that now everyone in China knows how they rate and why. I wonder if it's a good thing for the average citizen, but probably a mixed bag at best.
