Baidu backs alliance against unauthorized data access amid doxxing controversy

Baidu (9888) said it actively supports the establishment of the "anti-unauthorized data access" alliance under the guidance of the Chinese government, following rumors of its vice president’s daughter's doxxing incident. 

The initiative aims to strengthen data privacy protection, crack down on illegal data theft and leaks, and reinforce cybersecurity measures to ensure a safer online environment.  

Additionally, Baidu has officially set up a special fund for combating cybercrime, dedicated to safeguarding people's legal rights and corporate data security. 

The Chinese tech giant emphasized that it has never encountered any security issues in its 20-year history.

Earlier, Baidu denied that the related data in the doxxing incident came from its database.
