Anonymous tells China not to do anything stupid against Taiwan
The hacktivist collective warns China against invading Taiwan, urging Beijing to avoid Russia’s mistake in attacking Ukraine. After picking Russian targets, the hacker group is ready to go after Xi Jinping and associates. Noting the sinking of the Russian cruiser Moskva, Anonymous warns that China’s aircraft carrier Liaoning could suffer the same fate.
Taipei (AsiaNews) – Anonymous has issued a warning against China. The international hacker group defaced a Communist Party of China (CPC) website telling Beijing not to try anything stupid against Taiwan.
Communist China considers the island a “rebel province” and has not ruled the use of force to reunify it with the mainland.
The hacktivist group broke into the website of the Chengdu Pidu District Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a body that backs decisions by China’s president and Communist leaders.
This is not the first time that Anonymous targets the Chinese government. In the past, one of his members, Cyber Anakin, hacked into Chinese computer systems for five days, including nuclear power plant interfaces.
In the latest action, which began on 2 May, the defaced page included the flags of Tibet, Taiwan, East Turkestan (Xinjiang), Southern (Inner) Mongolia, regions threatened by “separatism” according to Chinese authorities.
Hackers also included the Black Bauhinia flag, used by pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong in 2019, well as a memorial for Li Wenliang, the doctor who first raised the alarm about COVID-19 and later died from it.
Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, Anonymous has attacked Russian websites multiple times.
Hackers have threatened to sabotage the computer systems of China’s aircraft carrier Liaoning, which they say could end up like Russian cruiser Moskva, which likely sunk by a Ukrainian missile attack.
