The UK Foreign Office has confirmed a cyberattack, first reported in October, but details remain unclear. Officials state that while there is speculation about Chinese involvement and potential data theft, they assert that no individuals are at risk from the breach.

China has claimed to possess "irrefutable evidence" linking the US to a cyberattack on its National Time Service Center, alleging that the NSA exploited vulnerabilities and used stolen credentials to access sensitive information since 2022. The accusations come amidst rising tensions between the two nations, with both sides trading allegations of cyber intrusions.
