Neigbuy

Profile narrative

Neigbuy is a group-buying platform associated with Hong Kong. The organisation is also referenced as a group-buying app in the available incident material. Its core service context is therefore tied to group-buying activity rather than to a regulatory, government, or infrastructure role. The provided information does not specify the categories of goods or services sold through the platform. It also does not state the size of its customer base beyond the number affected in the disclosed incident. No employee count, revenue figure, operating footprint, or market-share information is provided. The organisation’s headquarters location is identified as Hong Kong.

A notable structural attribute is that Neigbuy is majority-owned by TVB. This ownership link places the platform in a corporate context connected to a named parent or controlling shareholder, although the material does not describe the operational relationship in further detail. Neigbuy became publicly notable in the provided material because it disclosed a suspected cyberattack involving unauthorized access to personal data. The affected data concerned approximately 33,054 customers. The data types identified in the disclosure included names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and order histories. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data confirmed receipt of a breach notification and opened a formal investigation. Police also reported six incidents in which individuals impersonated staff to conduct scams. The material states that signs of the intrusion were identified before the notification was made public.
