Taiwan's Ministry of Digital Affairs has confirmed that government agencies were targeted in an AI-assisted hacking campaign in July, with investigations revealing the attacks bore clear characteristics of an overseas origin. Hackers used a hybrid approach combining manual operations with AI agent tools, including one known as Open Claw, to steal credentials, extract personnel records from the justice ministry, and probe the nuclear safety agency for vulnerabilities. Taiwan (a self-governing island that Beijing claims as its territory) said affected agencies have completed their response measures, and the government has since introduced new protective guidelines and strengthened monitoring systems; no direct attribution to China was made, though Beijing has been repeatedly linked to a sharp rise in cyberattacks on Taiwanese infrastructure in recent years.
