Taiwan Taking Steps to Protect Itself Against Cyberattacks from China
In response to what Taiwan claims is a growing cyber threat from China, it has set up a unit to create a comprehensive Internet shield against hackers, the country's intelligence chief has said.
Tsai Teh-sheng, head of the island's National Security Bureau, described the perceived cyber threat from China as 'very severe', after he was asked to evaluate it in parliament by Kuomintang legislator Lin Yu-fang.
According to news24, Tsai said 'the types of their Internet hacking are changing as their targets gradually diversify, ranging from military secrets, high-tech and business secrets to infrastructure'. He said that with the capabilities, they could sabotage Taiwan's infrastructure and spoil financial order whenever needed, the report said.
