A report released by Taiwan's National Security Bureau said that cyberattacks suspected of originating in China increased by 6% in 2025, reaching an average of 2.6 million incidents per day.
According to the report, the areas where the attacks increased the most were energy, emergency services and hospitals. The report noted that some of the cyberattacks coincided with military exercises by the Chinese military and important political events, raising the possibility of coordinated action aimed at disrupting or paralyzing the basic functions of the Taiwanese government and society.
According to the bureau, the attacks were mainly carried out using distributed denial of service (DDoS) and "man-in-the-middle" techniques. The aim was to target critical sectors and seize sensitive information.
The report also highlights the intensive targeting of science and technology parks that support Taiwan's semiconductor industry, including facilities where large companies such as TSMC operate.
The Chinese government denies accusations of involvement in cyberattacks and says it has no connection to such activities.
