The dataset, which allegedly contains more than 10 petabytes of sensitive information, is believed by experts to have been obtained from the National Supercomputing Center (NSCC) in Tianjin – a centralized hub that provides infrastructure services for more than 6,000 clients across China, including advanced science and defense agencies.

Well you can always go steal some data from them and find out for sure. I wonder if Polymarket will let us place bets on when you have a tragic accident.

I mean for hundreds of thousands of dollars? I quite like traveling to China, but I like having hundreds of thousands of dollars too.

Don't forget that if you get caught spending that money by the US, or whatever government rules over you, then you will spend the rest of your life eating prison cafeteria food and sleeping on a cot. You won't get a pass because you aren't working for the government, and they don't want people who don't respect authority being free inside their borders.
