Taiwan's National Security Bureau reported that cyberattacks on government departments doubled in 2024, reaching an average of 2.4 million attacks per day from the previous year's average of 1.2 million attacks per day. This increase was largely attributed to Chinese cyber forces. The attacks primarily targeted sectors such as telecommunications, transportation, and defense. Despite many attacks being effectively detected and blocked, the surge in numbers highlights the escalating severity of China's hacking activities against Taiwan.
