UK's cyber security agency warns of sophisticated' threat from Chinese hackers
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Chinese hackers pose a highly sophisticated and capable threat to the UK, GCHQ's cyber security agency has warned. The warning came after the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) recorded a 50% increase in highly significant online incidents carried out by criminals and state-linked groups in the year to the end of August. The attacks on household names including Marks and Spencer, Co-op and Jaguar Land Rover have shown the real world impact of cyber attacks, the NCSC said."
The Independent deploys reporters to cover topics including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigating issues such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet chooses not to use paywalls and asks for donations so quality journalism remains available to everyone and is funded by those who can afford it. GCHQ and the National Cyber Security Centre warn that Chinese hackers present a highly sophisticated threat to the UK, with the NCSC recording a 50% rise in significant online incidents. Attacks on firms such as Marks and Spencer, Co-op and Jaguar Land Rover demonstrate real-world impacts, and security minister Dan Jarvis urged businesses and citizens to prioritise cyber security and personal responsibility.
