China-linked malicious actors called out by UK and international partners for targeting sensitive data globally
UK and partners attribute global data theft to China-linked Integrity Technology Group and Flax Typhoon-related activity.
The UK NCSC and agencies from Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, and the United States issued a joint advisory on China-based Integrity Technology Group. The company, which the UK sanctioned last year, is accused of enabling China-linked actors who use AI-assisted scanning, large botnets, and hands-on exploitation to compromise networks and steal sensitive data, including from critical sectors. The activity is described as consistent with campaigns known as Flax Typhoon, Ethereal Panda, and Red Juliett. NCSC urges organizations to apply the mitigations in the FBI-hosted advisory.
