yang yongming, former deputy secretary-general of the so-called "security council" of the taiwan authorities, revealed that units similar to the information and communications army have three functions. the first is to carry out network security protection; the second is to obtain financial and military intelligence, or to destroy and paralyze atms and websites, and launch cyber attacks on civilian facilities; the third is to spread rumors, such as spreading false information and conducting cognitive operations. he believes thatthe second type of behavior amounts to a “paramilitary attack.”

huang zhenghui, a former taiwanese naval captain, said on the 23rd that he searched for one of the names after seeing the news. the self-introduction on the internet said that he was currently working in the network technology unit of the taiwan defense department, and his main job was penetration testing and intranet penetration.he pointed out that this cyber soldier not only exposed his mission but was also caught, which showed that his "skills were very poor."

at the same time, former legislator guo zhengliang analyzed on the 23rd: "the most terrifying thing is that he (the ministry of state security) pointed out three people and posted photos. if they dared to post the photos, they must have investigated for a long time."

guo zhengliang also questioned, "what's strange is that taiwan claims that these are not true.if the ict army never invades the mainland, "then why build this army? what is the truth?"

former legislator tsai cheng-yuan warned,in the event of a cyber attack, mainland china has the right to launch "severe revenge" against taiwan.

tsai cheng-yuan also did not forget to mock that the hacker group "anonymous 64" founded by taiwan's information and communications technology army, which was exposed by the mainland, was not good at english. he used an august 1 post of the group, "first wave of our cyber action", as an example, saying that the article used chinese grammar, and it was obvious that the english level of the relevant personnel was not high and needed to be improved.

in taiwanese society, it is an open secret that the dpp authorities have been raising cyber troops, which is one of their main means of controlling public opinion, suppressing dissidents, and attacking political opponents. although the dpp authorities' cyber troops are rampant, the law is long and no one can escape, and they were eventually cracked by the mainland. in addition, three active members of the taiwan information and communications technology army who carried out related cyber attack activities were investigated in accordance with the law, and their photos were released, which is quite deterrent. no matter what tricks and tricks the "taiwan independence" elements play, the mainland's "anti-independence toolbox" will have powerful tools to severely crack down on and contain them.
