Hong Kong (China) – Why hack into a server when you can simply steal the damn thing. This is exactly what happened to a Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) server containing 159,000 customer accounts, after it went missing during a branch office rennovation.

I wonder if it contained only accounts from China. If not, this is the first time I hear about this and I don't like it.
