The latest report of the US Network Security Corporation shows that on the eve of the Taiwan election on January 13, the network fuck related to mainland China seemed to have conducted a large -scale destructive network attack to try to interfere with this election, butIt is still unclear the exact goal of this raid and its achievements.
According to VOA, a report released by US financial security company TRLLIX on Tuesday (February 13) shows that the researchers said 24 hours before the election in Taiwan, Taiwan suffered a large -scale Internet attack and against the Taiwanese institutions to Taiwan institutions, and against the Taiwanese institutions, and to the Taiwanese institutions, Taiwan institutions were encountered and Taiwan institutions were against Taiwan institutions.The Internet attack is more than more than usual.The report states that malicious web attacks have increased from 1758 on January 11 to more than 4,300 on January 12.
The report pointed out that most of the Internet attack seems to be concentrated in government offices, police departments and financial institutions. These attacks focus on internal communication, police reports, bank bills, and insurance information.However, these net attacks seemed to be fast and fast, and the online attack event then weakened rapidly. On the day of January 13, only more than 1,000 online attacks were detected.
TRLLIX chief threatening intelligence researcher Anne An pointed out that this attack mode is unusual.She said, "We see many advanced and persistent threats (APT) attackers from China. They remain low -key after their invasion. We have never seen this crazy attack."
TRELLIX is still continuing to review the data, but Anne An said that there is an explanation that the attacker of mainland China is urgent to find a way to influence the Taiwan election. They are likely to do the last fight to try to tap financial information, police records, and internal government in the government.Communication, find a way to catch some handles.
The report also pointed out that Taiwan's danger may not be over. The surge in the Internet attack encountered on the eve of the Taiwan election may be the long -term strategy of threat attackers related to mainland China.
