Profile

Changxing County Administration is a county‑level government organisation located in China. It carries out the standard duties of local administration, such as implementing national and provincial policies within its jurisdiction. The organisation provides public services to residents, including administrative licensing, social welfare coordination and local infrastructure oversight. A notable service offered by the administration is an online employment platform that connects job seekers with employers in Changxing County. This platform was specifically mentioned in a 2014 cyber incident that exposed personal data collected from its users. The administration’s role in operating this service reflects its involvement in regional labour‑market facilitation. No information is available on the organisation’s total staff count, annual budget or the extent of its geographic coverage beyond the county boundary. Consequently, the known profile centres on its governmental functions and the operation of its job‑search platform.

The organisation’s headquarters are situated within Changxing County, although the exact city or district is not disclosed in the sources. As a subordinate entity of China’s governmental hierarchy, it reports to municipal and provincial authorities that oversee its operations. On 2 October 2014 a hacker group leaked sensitive data from a number of Chinese government websites. The leaked information included hundreds of phone numbers, email addresses, IP addresses and names associated with the Ningbo Free Trade Zone and the job‑search platform operated by Changxing County Administration. The attackers stated that the breach was retaliation against the Chinese government’s response to the Hong Kong protests, specifically citing the use of tear gas against demonstrators. They claimed to have infiltrated more than fifty mainland government databases and to have released approximately fifty thousand credentials. The intruders framed the action as an act of solidarity with Hong Kong citizens. The disclosure caused temporary disruptions to the targeted websites, rendering some of them inaccessible for a period of time. Chinese authorities characterised the incident as part of a broader pattern of cyber threats originating from international hacker collectives. No further details about parent‑subsidiary relationships, subsidiaries or organisational subdivisions are provided in the available material.
