A Chinese company with links to Beijing’s military and secretive intelligence arm has amassed the personal details of more than 35,000 Australians as part of a giant global database targeting influential figures and their families,

The company, Zhenhua Data, is tied to the People’s Liberation Army, Ministry of State Security, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and has collated the profiles of 2.4 million people across the world.

The data contains information on 35,558 Australian individuals, including prominent people in politics, business, law, academia, and defence. It includes birth dates, addresses, marital statuses, and political leanings.

Notable Australians include Prime Minister Scott Morrison and information on his discussions with U.S. President Trump. Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and his family, and member of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, Andrew Hastie and his young family.

Titled the Overseas Key Individuals Database, it also includes information on former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and his son, former Treasurer Peter Costello, current Reserve Bank Governor Robert Lowe, former Australian Ambassador Joe Hockey and his sons, Atlassian founder Mike Cannon-Brookes, several judges, celebrities, and academics.

Bank records, job applications and psychological profiles were also included in the data, much of which was taken from public documents, including news articles, criminal records, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.

However, 20 percent of the data is not open source, including confidential documents, indicating that the information was obtained through hacking or the dark web.

Zhenhua Data’s CEO Wang Xuefeng, has endorsed waging “unrestricted warfare” through manipulating public opinion and “psychological warfare,” according to a WeChat post.

Sounds like 5Eyes made a massive code break of this huge ChiCom spying op.

Then, the data was given to the Aussie PM and other key people.
