Taiwan has reported a significant surge in cyberattacks, attributed largely to China, reaching an alarming average of 2.8 million daily attacks in 2023, a 17% increase from the previous year. The National Security Bureau revealed that critical sectors such as medical systems, defense, telecommunications, and energy have been primary targets of these systemic cyber operations, which aim to undermine public trust in government defenses. In a reciprocal claim, China has accused Taiwan of conducting its own cyber operations, offering bounties for alleged Taiwanese military officers involved in spreading disinformation. This escalating cyber warfare highlights the intensifying political and military pressure from China on Taiwan and underscores the broader geopolitical tensions in the region, particularly concerning Taiwan’s sovereignty and international alliances.
