Taiwan’s advanced computer technology helps the military fend off hacker attacks in continuing virtual skirmishes with rival China, a military official said Tuesday.
Chinese hacker offensives — mostly carried out by sending e-mails with destructive programs — are a daily threat for the Taiwanese military, said Maj. Gen. Chai Hui-jen, the Ministry of Defense’s senior computer security specialist.
“We receive massive amounts of e-mails everyday, many attached with Trojan horse … programs, which are found to have connections to either Beijing or Hong Kong,” she told a ministry news conference.
However, the island’s status as one of the most advanced computer makers in the world helps it cope with the onslaught, she said.
Taiwan “is superior in technical skills to the mainland,” she said in reference to the country’s advantage in electronic warfare.
Can’t we all just get along? Sorry, silly question.
