Taiwan Presidential Office spokesman Chang Tun-Khan said the president’s official website was hit by a DDoS attack on Tuesday. During the attack, the site received 200 times more traffic than usual. However, normal operation of the site was resumed within 20 minutes.
Taiwan’s Presidential Spokesman Zhang Donghan said that in the face of ongoing information attacks from other countries, Taiwan will continue to strengthen cyber defense to maintain information and communication security and the stable operation of critical infrastructure facilities.
In addition to the site of the President of Taiwan, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the site of the Taiwan-Taoyuan Airport, where Pelosi’s plane landed, were affected. All affected structures were quickly restored.
