Britain's cyber spies sound warning about Volt Typhoon – a Beijing-backed hacking ring claimed to have found a way of gaining long-term access to key computer systems 🔴 Exclusive from cahalmilmo
that it is “likely” Volt Typhoon has already targeted UK organisations, including those with links to American companies whose systems may have already been compromised and therefore make easier targets.
Another analyst, who declined to be named because his organisation works with UK government bodies, said: “If a state-sponsored actor has secured a route into the critical infrastructure systems of an adversary, then it is probable they will look to deploy that tool with the adversary’s partners. Just as the Royal Navy patrols the South China Sea, so China’s operators will not see much difference between probing US, UK or other Five Eyes cyber assets.
These “living-off-the-land” attacks make it difficult to distinguish between the day-to-day acts of an authorised user and an external hacker. Crucially, they also offer a long-term means of entering a computer system which can be activated at a time – potentially far into the future – of the attacker’s choosing.

Study on association of serum uric acid levels with bipolar disorder: systematic review and meta-analysis in Chinese patients - Annals of General PsychiatryBackground The purine system represented by uric acid may be involved in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder, This study intends to explore the association of serum uric acid levels with bipolar disorder in Chinese patients through meta-analysis. Methods Electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), searching from inception to December 2022. Randomized Controlled Trials that reported serum uric acid levels and bipolar disorder were included. Two investigators independently extracted data and RevMan5.4 and Stata14.2 were used for statistical analyses. Results Twenty-eight studies with 4482 bipolar disorder, 1568 depression, 785 schizophrenia, and 2876 healthy control subjects were included in this meta-analysis. The results of the meta-analysis showed that serum uric acid levels in the bipolar disorder group were significantly higher than those in depression [SMD 0.53 (0.37, 0.70), p | 0.00001], schizophrenia [SMD 0.27 (0.05, 0.49), p = 0.02] and healthy control group [SMD 0.87 (0.67, 1.06), p | 0.00001]. Subgroup-analysis showed that in Chinese people with bipolar disorder, uric acid levels of the manic episode were higher than the depressed episode [SMD 0.31 (0.22, 0.41), p | 0.00001]. Conclusion Our results indicated a strong association between serum uric acid levels and bipolar disorder in Chinese patients, but further studies about whether uric acid levels can be a biomarker for bipolar disorder still need to investigate.
