Technology Minister Simon Chang says Chinese hackers are using Taiwan as a testing ground for new cyber-attack techniques.
Chang made the comments on Wednesday during a radio interview. He said on the surface, cross-strait relations have eased, but Chinese government-backed hackers are attacking Taiwan almost every day. He also said that a serious attack from China takes place every few months.
Chang said the attacks usually aim to steal classified information from Taiwan, especially the Taiwanese government’s bottom lines in negotiations.
