Beijing’s top spy agency says it has identified a group of Taiwanese hackers it purports are backed by Taipei’s defence ministry and seek to defame mainland China’s political system by hacking websites on the mainland, Hong Kong and Macau.
A hacker group called Anonymous64 is “a cyber army raised by the ‘Taiwan independence’ forces,” according to an article published by the Ministry of State Security on its official public WeChat account on Monday morning.
The “forces” referred to by Beijing’s top intelligence agency is the Information, Communications and Electronic Force Command (ICEFCOM) under the Ministry of National Defence in Taipei.
Beijing accused the command of “waging online ideological and public opinion battles against the mainland”. It comes at a time of significant deterioration in cross-strait relations, particularly after William Lai Ching-te became Taiwan’s new leader in May.
