Taiwan cybersecurity institute faces data theft claim over incident reported in July 2025
UNC6783 claimed to have stolen 102 GB of internal documents from 2024–2025 belonging to Taiwan's National Institute of Cyber Security and published samples of monthly reports. The institute said it had already filed a security incident report in July 2025 and was continuing to monitor the situation. As the monthly reports are distributed to multiple organisations, the institute has not been confirmed as the source of the leak, and neither the alleged intrusion nor the claimed theft of 102 GB has been established.
