A: Hey there! Did you catch the news about the cyberattacks?

B: Nah, what's up?

A: So, it looks like some folks in Guangzhou have put 20 suspects on a wanted list for these attacks. Seems they targeted corporations.

B: Whoa, who are the suspects?

A: Xinhua says they're linked to a Taiwanese military unit that got help from the US army! They also accused this group of doing opinion warfare with anti-China forces in the U.S.

B: Woah! That sounds serious. What did Taiwan say about all this?

A: Well, Taiwan's defense ministry said it's just nonsense! They claim the unit is more about safeguarding national defense info and network security.

B: I see... And what about China? Any comments from their side?

A: They consider the Taiwanese gov as pro-independence, so they've been putting pressure on 'em by doing military drills around Taiwan. Also, Lai said they faced 2.4 million cyberattacks a day last year, most coming from mainland China! Crazy, huh?

Police in China have put 20 individuals on a wanted list for their alleged involvement in cyberattacks purportedly orchestrated by a Taiwanese military unit set up with the support of the United States.



Police in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou released on Thursday the names and photos of 20 suspects who were allegedly involved in cyberattacks on corporate targets.



They are offering a reward of 10,000 yuan, or around 1,400 US dollars, for information leading to each suspect's arrest.



The Xinhua news agency says the Taiwanese military unit that allegedly orchestrated the cyberattacks was set up with the support of the US military. The news agency says the unit was also found to have been conducting public opinion warfare in cooperation with anti-China forces in the US.



Taiwan's defense ministry has denounced the accusations as totally baseless, stating that the unit in question is primarily tasked with safeguarding national defense information and maintaining network security.



China views the Taiwanese government of President Lai Ching-te as pro-independence, and has been intensifying pressure by repeatedly conducting military drills around Taiwan.



In April, Lai said that last year, Taiwanese government agencies experienced an average of 2.4 million cyberattacks a day, double the number for the previous year. Lai said the majority of the attacks came from mainland China.
