Taiwan is one of the most cyber-attacked places on earth. By the count maintained by its government’s cybersecurity agency, the island absorbs millions of cyberattack attempts each month, a significant portion of them attributable to Chinese state-linked actors. The volume is so high that it is used in Taiwanese government communications less as a warning than as a baseline: this is the normal operating environment. What varies is the sophistication and targeting of the attacks, which escalates during periods of political tension and which, in the event of military conflict, would transition from the persistent low-level campaign currently underway into a coordinated effort to degrade Taiwan’s military command and control, communications infrastructure, and civil society resilience simultaneously.
