Cyberport says it has found on the dark web, stolen data involving the names, contact details and credit card information of current and former staff, as well as job seekers. It came to light last week that hackers had stolen 400 gigabytes of personal data from the technology park's system. As Damon Pang reports, the government has responded by sending emails to departments and public organisations, telling them to immediately review their cyber security measures:

The Tourism Board says Hong Kong recorded more than four million visitor arrivals last month, or nearly 85 percent of pre-pandemic levels. Tourist numbers for August rose 14 percent from July and most of them were from the mainland. Professor Hui Kai-lung, a Senior Associate Dean from the University of Science and Technology, says he is optimistic about the prospects for the sector. But he told Vanessa Cheng that the SAR could still do more to boost traffic:

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong say the government should raise the tobacco tax to at least 75 percent of the retail price by next year and ban tobacco completely by 2030.

Researchers at the Kadoorie Farm have urged the government to conserve farmland in what will be the Northern Metropolis, saying these sites are home to a quarter of Hong Kong's bird species. Kadoorie says they also spotted critically-endangered birds, such as the Yellow-breasted Bunting, during their year-long survey of farmland in the northern New Territories. The farm's senior conservation officer, Philip Lo, told Violet Wong that the birds may lose vital foraging and breeding grounds if the government turns the sites into residential or business areas:

The Hong Kong Dolphin Conservation Society says the government should consider new laws to allow for short-term restrictions in marine traffic, after a second whale was spotted in Hong Kong in as many months. The society's vice-chairperson, Viena Mak, says the whale is suspected of being either a dwarf or pygmy sperm whale, which is not common in Hong Kong waters. She says after a Bryde's whale was found dead in Sai Kung with suspected propeller injuries, this time around there have been fewer whale-watchers near the Deep Bay area. She told Ben Tse that authorities should implement urgent measures to limit marine traffic to give the whale space to leave:
