Defining the News

Tokyo – Visiting Palau’s President Surangel Whipps on Wednesday said the tiny country, one of Taiwan’s few diplomatic allies, had suffered a major cyberattack, pointing the finger at China.

The documents were taken in March, Whipps said on Wednesday, soon after Palau signed a new 20-year economic and security deal with the United States. The documents later appeared on the dark web and ransomware group DragonForce claimed responsibility for the hack, the New York Times said. With no financial motive behind the attack, the president branded it “harassment” and said the leak had included “people’s personal information”.

Whipps called the incident a “wake-up call” and said Taiwan, Japan and the United States had all offered to help Palau strengthen its digital security.
