Taiwan's Ministry of Defense has reported a major leak of confidential information after a group of hackers gained unauthorized access to the databases of a major Taiwanese telecommunications company. The criminals stole thousands of files, including coast guard data, military documents, and information from the State Department.
The Ministry of Defense confirms that the hackers have already published some of the stolen information on the dark web, leaving the country vulnerable to possible cyberattacks and espionage. The gravity of the situation is heightened by a report that the group has announced the sale of 1.7 terabytes of confidential data from Chunghwa Telecom on the dark web.
