What is a sanction? UK imposes measures following alleged Chinese cyber attacks
The UK Government has sanctioned several Chinese nationals for an alleged “malicious” cyber campaign against UK political figures.
Two people and a Chinese company have been sanctioned over a cyber attack that may have exposed data from 40 million people.
The UK and the US believe that the Advanced Persistent Threat 31 (APT 31) cyber group targeted prominent figures who were critical of Beijing and gained access to electoral registers linked to millions of people.
