Chinese hackers have gained access to around 6,000 email accounts belonging to at least 10 Taiwan government agencies, officials said.
According to a top Taiwan cyber official, the attacks are part of a cyber espionage campaign. The government of Taipei is still investigating the campaign and assessing its impact, although the cyber official told AFP press agency that the damage done was “not small.”
