Taiwan: DPP Branches Attacked by Chinese Computer Virus
Chinese hackers have sent e-mails to the Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) local branches and other recipients in the name of the DPP chairman with a trojan horse virus in them, the Ministry of Justice's Investigation Bureau said yesterday.More here.
The bureau said in a press statement that people receiving the e-mails should not open them as confidential information held on the computer might be intercepted by the hackers.
Warnings have been sent to DPP branches asking them not to open e-mails that show the aforementioned title and e-mail address, the bureau said.
The bureau said the attack seemed unusual and it suspects the motive is probably political and that the Chinese authorities may be involved.
In recent years the Chinese government has attempted to use computer technology to spy on Taiwan, the bureau said.
