China flags 10 overseas sites in cyberattack alert

China's national cybersecurity notification center on Monday released a list of 10 overseas malicious websites and Internet Protocol addresses, saying overseas hacker groups have used them to launch ongoing cyberattacks against China and other countries.

In a statement on its social media account, the center said the listed domains and IPs are closely linked to specific Trojan programs or their command-and-control servers.

The attacks include botnet building and backdoor exploitation, posing a "serious threat" to networked institutions and internet users in China, it said.

According to the center, the addresses were located in the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Latvia, Turkiye, Iran, the Republic of Korea, and Brazil.
