SINGAPORE—Chinese authorities suspended a cybersecurity partnership with the cloud-computing unit of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. over delays in reporting a global software vulnerability that is roiling governments and companies world-wide, state media reported.
China’s ministry in charge of technology said its cybersecurity threat and information platform would be stopping its cooperation with Alibaba Cloud for six months, as the company had failed to report the Log4j2 flaw to relevant authorities in a timely manner, the state-run China Daily reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed ministry officials. Alibaba declined to comment.
