> UK NCSC and international partners issued a joint advisory on China-linked actors compromising networks worldwide to steal sensitive data.

The NCSC, alongside international partners, published a joint advisory calling out China-linked malicious cyber actors for exploiting and compromising organisational networks globally to access sensitive data. The published announcement is a brief notice pointing to the advisory rather than a detailed technical report, so specific indicators of compromise, exploited vulnerabilities, malware names, or tactics, techniques and procedures are not included in this excerpt.

Defenders should treat this as a signal to review the full joint advisory referenced by NCSC and partner agencies for detailed technical guidance, affected sectors, and mitigation recommendations, as the activity described spans multiple countries and targets organisations broadly rather than a single sector or product.

## Mentioned in this report
