The UK has joined the Five Eyes intelligence alliance to issue a cybersecurity warning after China targeted U.S. critical infrastructure sectors.

The cluster of attacks, first uncovered by Microsoft, was found targeting Guam, home of a number of U.S. military bases, and elsewhere in the United States. Hackers also used compromised local home office devices such as routers to cover their tracks.
