Hong Kong expands police powers to access encrypted devices, raising privacy concerns for crypto users

Hong Kong has expanded police powers under the National Security Law, criminalizing the refusal to provide passwords or assist in decrypting personal electronic devices. The rules, effective March 23, apply to residents, visitors, and transit passengers at Hong Kong International Airport. Authorities can now access, seize, and retain devices deemed relevant to national security investigations. This raises significant privacy concerns, particularly for crypto users who store sensitive financial data or access digital asset accounts on their devices. The policy highlights growing tensions between law enforcement and digital privacy.
