On the internet, the Chinese cyber army is an important force of the Chinese government. Its purpose is to influence the politics, economy, and society of other countries through online propaganda and operations.


TeamT5's research found that Chinese adversaries have compromised Taiwan's network and information systems by monitoring and attacking Taiwan's network. At the same time, our intelligence also shows that the Chinese army uses social media and other platforms to spread false news, slander the Taiwan government, and incite hatred, in order to interfere with Taiwan's political and social stability. We believe that the Chinese government can use the above-mentioned attack methods to try to monitor Taiwan's Internet and social media accounts, hacker attacks, and wash fake news, which will eventually have an impact on Taiwanese society.


Therefore, Taiwan needs to strengthen the prevention of network security, strengthen network monitoring and combat cyber crime. TeamT5 observed that the Chinese cyber army’s information warfare operations against Taiwan are serious and are constantly evolving. Therefore, Taiwan must continue to update relevant threat intelligence. At the same time, the people of Taiwan also need to increase their vigilance against fake news, and not easily believe information from unknown sources, so as not to be affected by the operation of the Chinese army.
