Request for Data – MSc Cyber Security Project (HKU)
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
