China Accuses Taiwan of Cyberattack on Tech Company
BEIJING (Reuters) – Chinese public security authorities in Guangzhou have attributed a cyberattack on an unnamed technology company to the Taiwan government, according to a statement released on Tuesday. The foreign hacker organization behind the attack was reportedly “supported by” Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), authorities in the capital of Guangdong province said, based on an initial police investigation. The DPP is the ruling party in Taiwan.
The Mainland Affairs Council in Taiwan did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The incident has escalated tensions between China and Taiwan, highlighting the ongoing cybersecurity concerns in the region.
