China’s Cyber Tsunami: Taiwan Faces Double the Attacks in 2024!
In 2024, Taiwan saw twice as many attacks from China as the previous year, averaging 2.4 million daily attempts.

It’s a wake-up call for 2025—how to defend against these nation-state attacks better than before?
Hot Take:
China’s cyber-operations are hitting Taiwan like an over-caffeinated typist with a brand new keyboard! It seems the only thing more persistent than these attacks are the coffee stains on my desk.

Time to upgrade our defenses, or at least hire someone who can pronounce ‘phishing’ without sounding like they’re talking about their favorite seafood hobby.
