DarkOwl analysts took note of an increased amount of darknet activity surrounding the current geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan.

Using darknet, deep web, and high-risk surface web data, this report endeavors to shed light on the digital underground’s reaction to the countries’ political tensions stemming from China’s “One-China Principle” and its refusal to recognize Taiwan’s independence.

This report will also demonstrate how recent cyberattacks in August augment political criticism of Taiwan. Of particular note is the on-going barrage of leaks surfacing as a result of attacks against key organizations in both countries, and discusses the general darknet sentiment regarding China’s global reputation and their potential invasion of Taiwan.
