Hacker attack fears grow ahead of Taiwan presidential inauguration

Shortly before the inauguration of Taiwan's President-elect Lai Ching-te on Monday, a politician specializing in defense issues told dpa that there are growing concerns about hacker attacks from China.

"I think they will definitely attack our infrastructure by May 20," Shen Po-yang, a lawmaker from Lai's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), told dpa in an interview on Saturday. The parliamentarian, also known as Puma Shen, expressed his concerns based on earlier incidents.
