Botnet operations represent a significant threat to the UK by exploiting vulnerabilities in everyday internet-connected devices with the potential to carry out large-scale cyber attacks, said NCSC operations director Paul Chichester.
Whilst the majority of botnets are used to conduct coordinated DDoS attacks, we know that some also have the ability to steal sensitive information.
That's why the NCSC, along with our partners in Five Eyes countries, is strongly encouraging organisations and individuals to act on the guidance set out in this advisory - which includes applying updates to internet-connected devices.
The company in question, Integrity Technology Group, is based out of Beijing and on the service appears to operate as a legitimate provider of network security services, but is implicated in cyber attacks.
