Husband of late Barbie ‘Big S' Hsu vows to protect children from ‘the wicked'
The husband of late Taiwanese actress Barbie 'Big S' Hsu Shi-yuan has pledged to take legal action to protect her children 'from the wicked' and offer his share from her hard-earned inheritance to his mother-in-law. In a post on his Instagram page on Thursday night, South Korean rapper Koo Jun-yup, also known as 'DJ Koo', broke his silence to mourn his wife who died at the age of 48. Her family on Monday confirmed the superstar's sudden death in Japan from a flu-triggered pneumonia.
'I am currently in a state of indescribable sadness and pain, with a heart as if being cut by a knife, and my insides are torn apart. I have no strength to speak, nor do I want to speak,' Koo wrote in both Chinese and Korean.
Koo rekindled his relationship with Hsu, whom he dated previously, in 2022, and they married after the actress ended her decade-long marriage with Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei.
Hsu and Wang, who had a daughter and a son together, had acrimonious exchanges on social media and filed lawsuits following their separation.

Billions of data records relating to Chinese citizens leaked online, including WeChat and Alipay details
'Billions upon billions' of data records belonging to hundreds of millions of Chinese citizens have been briefly exposed online, according to cybersecurity researchers. The 631 gigabyte haul of information – including WeChat and Alipay details – may be part of a surveillance effort targeting Chinese citizens, according to the research team at tech media outlet Cybernews and Bob Diachenko, owner and founder of cybersecurity consulting firm Security Discovery. 'The Cybernews research team believes the dataset was meticulously gathered and maintained for building comprehensive behavioral, economic, and social profiles of nearly any Chinese citizen,' the media outlet said last week. 'The sheer volume and diversity of data types in this leak [suggest] that this was likely a centralized aggregation point.' They added that the data could potentially be exploited for anything from 'large-scale phishing, blackmail, and fraud to state-sponsored intelligence gathering and disinformation campaigns.' The team were only able to glimpse 16 datasets before the database was removed, preventing them from understanding the identity of those behind it. 'However, collecting and maintaining this sort of database requires time and effort, often linked to threat actors, governments, or very motivated researchers,' they said. Aside from WeChat and Alipay records, residential data with geographic identifiers was included, along with apparent banking data such as payment card numbers, dates of birth, names, and phone numbers. Together, the datasets could allow attackers to triangulate users' places of residence, spending habits, debts, and savings.

Nat. security police warn Hongkongers against downloading game ‘promoting' independence
Hong Kong national security police have warned against downloading a role-playing game app that they say promotes Hong Kong and Taiwanese independence. In a statement on Tuesday, the police force's National Security Department said Reversed Front: Bonfire – a mobile game by Taiwanese developers ESC Taiwan – promotes succesionist agendas, advocates 'armed revolution' and the overthrow of the 'fundamental system of the People's Republic of China.' The game 'also has an intention to provoke hatred towards the Central Authorities and the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region,' police said. Anyone who publishes related content, including sharing the game online, may be accused of inciting secession and inciting subversion, both offences under the Beijing-imposed national security law. Doing so may also violate the city's homegrown national security law, also known as Article 23, which criminalises 'offences in connection with seditious intention.' According to the description on the gaming platform Steam, Reversed Front walks players through a war against the communist regime. Players can assume different roles, such as Hong Kong, Tibet, Taiwan, the Uyghurs, and Mongolia. The developers describe the communists in the game as 'heavy-handed' and corrupt due to 'malicious ethnic cleansing and an obstreperous military.' The national security police said those who have downloaded the app should 'uninstall it immediately' and urged the public not to provide funding for the game, for example, by making in-app purchases. The game app was initially available on both Google's Play Store and Apple's App Store. However, it was removed from the Play Store in May for failing to ban players who made hate speech, according to Reversed Front's social media post. When HKFP checked on Tuesday, the app could no longer be found on the Play Store.

Mainland Chinese man arrested for allegedly igniting fireworks in Hong Kong
Hong Kong police have arrested a mainland Chinese man for allegedly igniting fireworks at the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade. A 21-year-old man, surnamed Shi, was apprehended in Tsim Sha Tsui on Monday on suspicion of possessing and igniting fireworks and firecrackers. He is currently detained by police for investigation. Police said on Monday evening that the arrest was made after a viral video, which began circulating on social media platform Threads on Sunday, appeared to show a man igniting a firework stick at the promenade near Salisbury Road. The man told the person holding the camera to 'stop filming' in Mandarin as he hurriedly left the promenade. Another video, also shared on Sunday, showed fireworks being discharged at the promenade for a few seconds. Fireworks and firecrackers are classified as dangerous goods in the city, police said on Monday. Under the Dangerous Goods Ordinance, it is a criminal offence to manufacture, store, transport, or use any dangerous goods without a relevant licence. Anyone found guilty of the offence can face up to six months in prison and a maximum fine of HK$25,000.
