TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A number of Taiwan government agencies and infrastructure websites have come under cyberattacks in the past few days and, in some cases, the attacks involved software from China.

The websites or systems of the presidential office, the foreign ministry, the defense ministry, the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, the Taiwan Railways Administration, and the Taiwan Power Company have encountered a spike in attacks since Tuesday (Aug. 2). Some have been identified by the authorities as from China and Russia.

Services for the affected websites have become unavailable temporarily but have resumed quickly as the government agencies and facilities have been put on high alert.
