– **Noppadon Narittakurn** — Director

## Impact

This breach represents a **complete corporate data compromise**. Every department, every financial record, every employee record, every branch database, and every executive communication has been exfiltrated.

The data includes sensitive regulatory documents (tax filings, alcohol import licenses) that could trigger **government investigations** if disclosed publicly. The personal banking records and passport scans of company directors present significant **identity theft and fraud risks**.

The SAP production database alone contains the company’s **entire operational history** — customer lists, vendor pricing, proprietary recipes and inventory formulas, and every financial transaction processed through their ERP system.

**Data volume:** 736,000+ files | 15 SQL databases | 1,918 database backups | 14 email archives

**Hong Bao Group has limited time to resolve this situation before full publication.**
