Request for Data – MSc Cyber Security Project (HKU)

This request has exceeded the 21 calendar day target response time without explanation. You may wish to send a reminder or request an internal review.

Dear Hong Kong Police Force Information Systems Wing,

I am a Master of Science student majoring in Cyber Security at the University of Hong Kong. I am writing to request data for academic purposes to build a Proof of Concept (PoC) AI model for detecting local cyber scams.

To ensure data privacy, I am requesting information only from closed or convicted cases where the information is less sensitive.

I would like to request:

a) A sample set of anonymized scam message texts (SMS or Chat logs) recovered from convicted cases (e.g., Investment or "Pig Butchering" scams); and

b) A list of technical indicators (e.g., URL links, IP addresses, or phone numbers) used by the convicts in these closed cases.

I do not require personal particulars of the arrested persons, only the digital footprint (the messages and technical tools) they used. A small sample size (e.g., 50-100 entries) in CSV or Excel format would be sufficient for this PoC.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,

LUK YING HO
