Some new scam message I guess.

I wanted a piece of Hong Kong, and decided to get this tattooed. Cha chaan tengs were my favorite part about the city - the milk tea, the French toast, and the whole experience

Early morning flights sucks, but views like this from the Hong Kong airport make it a bit nicer.

A beautiful live tribute to a Hong Kong I think most people love.

有市民近日在社交平台發文，指日前在連鎖電器零售商「百老滙」購買一部氣炸鍋，送貨後不足一小時，其丈夫即接獲自稱百老滙職員的女子來電，聲稱產品有問題需要回收並要求核實個人資料安排退款。事主質疑購買商品不足24小時，個人及購物資料即被外洩，懷疑與送貨流程有關。
對此，百老滙在網上回應致歉，並強烈譴責不法分子冒充其職員，指懷疑有人透過非法途徑取得部份客戶過往購物記進行詐騙。

由購買到收詐騙電話　不足24小時發生

事主周一（26日）在社交平台發文，指在百老滙購買氣炸鍋並安排送貨，原定送貨時間為下午，惟送貨員提早於翌日早上9時30分將貨品送達。惟送貨後僅一小時，事主丈夫即接到一名帶有內地口音女子的來電。

對方自稱是百老滙職員，指他們購買的氣炸鍋存在問題，需要回收，並要求事主核實個人資料以安排回收及退款。事主丈夫認為事有可疑，因此未有理會，並隨即致電百老滙求證，獲證實並無回收一事。

事主對資料外洩感到極度不滿及疑慮，指出由購買至收到詐騙電話「24個鐘都唔夠」，更質疑騙徒精準掌握貨品已經送達的時間才發動來電。「極度懷疑係送貨嘅人攬鬼……電騙嘅人係知道已經送左貨先至打嚟」。

百老滙：疑經非法途徑取得部份客戶購物記錄詐騙

事件引發網民熱議後，百老滙官方社交平台帳號在該帖文下留言回應，表示對事主及其家人受到的滋擾及不便深表抱歉，並證實近日得悉有不法分子冒充百老滙職員致電客戶，懷疑利用透過非法途徑取得的部分客戶過往購物記錄進行詐騙。百老滙又表示，強烈譴責不法分子盜用公司名義滋擾客戶並意圖騙取金錢，強調已密切關注有關情況。

不過，事主對於百老滙的回應並不滿意，並留言指：「我唔需要你地譴責，麻煩你地解釋一下點解有咁嘅事發生，同埋點防止再發生，而家好明顯係你地資料外洩」， 要求公司給出合理的解釋及改善方案。

此外，事主亦透露其丈夫曾嘗試就事件向警方報案。事主指丈夫於中午時段透過電子報案系統報案，惟等逾大半天仍未獲警方聯絡；至下班後再致電報案，警方卻表示不予受理，並建議他直接前往警署或繼續透過網上系統報案。

私隱專員公署周一表示，本月分別接獲香港航空有限公司、友和香港有限公司、及百老滙攝影器材有限公司的資料外洩事故通報，至少有1600名客人受影響。截至周一，公署就三宗事件共接獲23宗投訴。

不少網民近日收到自稱是香港航空、友和香港及百老滙的客服來電，訛稱航班取消安排賠償，或包裹損壞安排退款。私隱專員公署表示，已接獲3間公司的資料外洩事故通報，初步資料顯示，香港航空有815名乘客接獲懷疑詐騙來電，友和香港有790名客戶接獲懷疑詐騙來電，百老滙亦有客戶懷疑接到詐騙來電。受影響的個人資料可能包括姓名、電話號碼、航班日期及送貨地址等。私隱署已經根據既定機制就上述事件展開調查。

方保僑：詐騙模式高度一致 屬典型供應鏈攻擊

香港資訊科技商會榮譽會長方保僑表示，是次三間不同行業的公司，在9月底至10月同一時段內的客戶同時接獲精準詐騙來電，騙徒能準確說出姓名、航班編號、訂單產品及付款金額，手法均為假冒客服以航班取消或包裹損壞為由要求退款驗證。此種高度一致的模式，反映外洩源頭極有可能並非三間公司各自被入侵，而是共用的第三方客戶服務、短訊或物流通知平台出現漏洞，屬於典型的供應鏈攻擊。

AI生成專業退款對話 令詐騙電話極具說服力

方保僑又指，人工智能正令此類外洩的危害大幅放大。黑客取得資料後，可利用AI快速篩選出即將出發或剛下單的高焦慮客戶，並自動生成專業的退款對話及幾可亂真的銀行驗證網站，使每一個詐騙電話都變得極具個人化及說服力，令受害人在短時間內難以分辨，短時間內造成更大損失。他提醒市民，即使對方能說出個人資料，任何要求預付保證金或轉帳作驗證的來電均屬可疑。

私隱署至今接23宗投訴和20宗查詢

私隱署向《星島》表示，於本月2日接獲香港航空的資料外洩事故通報。經公署查訊，初步資料顯示有815名於今年9月29日至本月22日期間出發的乘客接獲懷疑詐騙來電，受影響的個人資料可能包括姓名、電話號碼、航班日期、航班編號及航線。

私隱署亦於本月5日接獲友和香港的資料外洩事故通報。經公署查訊，初步資料顯示有790名曾於今年9月29日至本月12日下訂單的客戶接獲懷疑詐騙來電，受影響的個人資料可能包括姓名、電話號碼、送貨地址、訂單編號及購買產品詳情。

另一方面，私隱署於本月26日接獲百老滙的資料外洩事故通報，表示客戶接獲懷疑詐騙來電，受影響的個人資料可能包括姓名、電話號碼、購買產品、付款金額等。

截至2026年本月26日，私隱署就涉及上述事件共接獲23宗投訴和20宗查詢。

為保障個人資料私隱及財產安全，私隱專員公署提醒市民，當接獲自稱商戶來電，就已經售出產品／服務作出跟進時，應注意以下事項： 

核實來電者身分：即使來電者能說出你的個人資料，如對來電者身分存疑，在提供進一步個人資料或付款前應「停一停、諗一諗」。市民應透過商戶官方網站、官方客戶服務熱線或親身到門市核實來電者身分及來電內容的真偽，並留意相關商戶有否發出詐騙警示；

拒絕可疑轉帳要求：商戶在處理賠償或退款時，一般不會要求客戶預先支付任何「保證金」或「手續費」，或轉帳以驗證銀行帳號；市民切勿隨便向他人披露網上銀行帳號及密碼等敏感資料；

保留通訊紀錄：記錄來電號碼及對話內容，以便日後向警方或相關機構舉報；及

留意防騙資訊：留意私隱專員公署、警方或相關機構發布的防騙資訊，以提升防騙意識。如有懷疑，可透過「防騙視伏器」（https://cyberdefender.hk/scameter/）搜尋可疑的電話號碼、電郵地址、網址等。

市民若懷疑個人資料被外洩或被不當使用，可向私隱專員公署（「個人資料防騙熱線」：3423 6611、電郵：communications@pcpd.org.hk）作出查詢或投訴。市民若發現其個人資料被盜用並涉及刑事罪行，亦應盡快報警。

What’s the appeal in apps like Taobao / PDD in HK? I recently downloaded both of them because of the hype obviously that seems to be permanent and everything on both apps just seem like it’s marketing towards hoarders. Curious to hear what everyone uses apps like Taobao/PDD for

曾多次參展一年一度書展的榆林書店及樂文書店，今年七月突然被貿發局取消資格、未能參展。

榆林書店先在7 月 8 日宣布，明年四月租約期滿，將「光榮結束門市」，「霧繞前程　有緣再會」。

三個月後，樂文書店也以四五折清貨，準備在年底結業。

本港獨立書店風雨飄搖，過去三個月內，先後傳出多間書店捲國安案、書展被 DQ、結業等消息。

今年三月，有售賣《黎智英傳》的獨立書店「一拳書館」，被國安警搜查，負責人龐一鳴及書館三名職員被拘捕，被指涉嫌違反《維護國家安全條例》第24條「明知而出售具煽動意圖的刊物」罪。

今年六月，獵人書店創辦人黃文萱夫婦，被國安警以涉嫌違反《維護國家安全條例》第24條「出於煽動意圖作出具煽動意圖的作為」罪拘捕。獵人書店在九月表示，現舖明年二月底約滿後，不能續租，並表示對於變動，不能說沒有擔憂。

七月中，由資深傳媒人岑蘊華及幾位前《立場新聞》記者創立的獨立書店留下書舍，宣布會在 8  月 30 日結業，一日後，國安警上門搜查留下書舍及田園書屋，拘捕留下書舍三人，及田園書屋兩人，他們被指涉嫌干犯 23 條下的煽動罪被捕。

在七月底，田園書屋宣布約滿後結業。八月底，留下書舍結業。

Heyo, r/HongKong, I'm trying to find fellow Brakence fans to:

1. mainly, travel with, to visit the just announced (last night!) upcoming tours in the US (Mar) (or the UK (May)), and/or;
2. just fawn over the artist himself together

I've tried staking the ground in the artist's subreddit recently in a where are you from post, and have gotten 1 local friend, but I'm looking to see if I can get more HK-based friends by asking here directly for better visibility. Plus I haven't really tried travelling without family that far ever, so I guessed I'm a bit scared on that front. :P

Hong Kong’s Mass Transit Railway is the most profitable transit system in the world. While subways tend to lose money everywhere else, the MTR funds its system through a real estate engine known as “land-value capture.” By directly integrating malls, offices and apartments into stations, the railway has created a self-funding loop that pays billions of dollars back to the government.

Now, the MTR is taking on a massive challenge: funding transport for the Northern Metropolis, a new tech hub aimed at better connecting Hong Kong with Mainland China. But as local real estate cools, construction costs soar and residents shift retail spending across the border to Shenzhen, the MTR is taking on record debt to fund the expansion. Will this ambitious project break the very rule that made Hong Kong’s transit a global marvel?

Seem the bank account has been unlinked and can’t add a new one , just refreshes back to the link account page. Stuck in a loop…

26F, booked a timeleft dinner for women yesterday in Hong Kong, my first ever Timeleft dinner. Didn't expect to meet genuine cult members trying to recruit me. They utilized the loophole and neither of them booked through the platform (one of the original participants no show and cult member A filled in the place, she then said her "friend"(Cult member B) is nearby and asked her to join in the middle). For your information, at first 7 signed up but excluding the 2 cult members only 3 of us were there. And I personally love watching cult and true crime documentaries which totally saved me from this mess.

A was really good at getting close to people. She was friendly and seemed empathetic. She introduced herself as an occupational therapist and now studying a spiritual coach course. I asked whether it was something related to mental health or counselling, she said no it wasn't anything science-based (at the time I still thought she was just into some fengshui stuff). What started to seem like a red flag to me was when she mentioned she is living with around 10 people in a gigantic house (FYI in Hong Kong it's so rare to live with that many people given its limited space), and they have 13 cats, 4 dogs and a few birds. The 10 ish people are mostly women and they are all single. At first I only thought maybe it was like a dorm, but she said they "chose each other". They would discuss with each other in depth for literally everything, which to me seem very philosophical, like they would ask 6 why's and what each other is going through, even just after assembling a chair...(To me it was really crazy like how do you have so many thoughts for such random things in daily life?).

One more thing, both A and B do not have a legit name, they made up their name. I told A her name is very special, she said she combined two words in bible which means "Unconditional love". Now that I think about it, both using non typical English names probably is a sign. (Edit: I searched all 3 of their weird names on AI turnout their names are all very New Age style and bring religious meanings)

When B joined us, it seemed more and more apparent that it is a cult. She said that A will go through "dealth" in a few days, the table was in silence for a few seconds. We asked her what she meant for dealth, she said she has no idea but she looked enthusiastic. One girl asked B wouldn't they want to get married and have kids, B said she has "passed that phase" and she wouldn't want to meet a guy who doesn't believe in what they believe. And B said they would always challenge the social norms and walk a path less people choose. And A said "if they want to meet someone they could". I was like, if you all are just roommates why would you sound approval to them meeting a partner?

After the dinner the 2 cult members asked me for a drink, which at the time I was regretting I shouldn't tell them I wfh tomorrow. After we sat down almost immediately they started selling me their spiritual course which costs 100k HKD and said it is a journey we can go through together. They said they want me in. I asked why me? They said 1) I seem open-minded to different things 2) I have a flexible job (which I assume they think I can engage in their cult activity) 3) I look like I crave human connection (See? This is typical for a cult, they target lonely people who crave connection). But then I said I don't have that much money. A kept using the Foot in the Door tactic, saying even if I just decided to start with 1k HKD it would be fine. After A went to toilet, I asked B what does she normally do for a weekend, she said she barely steps out of their communal house. I asked, is it because the house was big enough for activities? She said no, there are already too many things going on in it, like they would be in deep discussion for just assembling a chair. At that time it gave me chills.

I know Tsui Wah and International Curry quality has declined over the years, but the curry flavor was still solid when I was last here in 2019. I'm now back in 2026 to find that both have moved/closed/rapidly changed.

Where can I find tasty, classic HK-style curry in 2026? Tell me all of your favorites!

I work in Wan Chai. I'm looking for a gym that I can go to lunchtime. Problem that most gyms have is that they don't have enough showers. Therefore, you have to spend half your lunch hour waiting in line for a shower.

Does anyone know of a gym round here that does not have that problem? I would really appreciate that!

Hi! I just moved to Hong Kong and am loving it.

One thing I miss about my last city, is that I had a great choice of many co-workings. I especially miss that my previous co-working had a "loud" floor. On this floor the idea is that you can take calls and have long conversations without moving to a call booth or a meeting room. (This is annoying for some people, but they are then welcome to move to the quieter floors.)

For me this "loud" setup works great as I spend practically the whole day transcribing my voice using a microphone as this is just much faster than typing. I have checked around and so far I did not find a co-working where this kind of thing would be allowed. Can anyone with experience here help or suggest a location? I am open to moving to any part of HK to be near such a workspace!

There are quite a lot of eccentrics in HK which I think is great as long as no one is being harmed. One of the most common is people obsessed with hygiene. Not saying there's anything wrong with it but some people make me a chuckle to myself.

One I noticed growing in popularity in my office is colleagues bringing their own sponges to work to wash their dishes after lunch, instead of using the one provided.

We also have someone who wears latex gloves almost all day long.

Did you notice any quirky hygiene habits?
