A military enthusiast recently discovered that someone was selling classified intelligence documents from Taiwan through a foreign website. The price was NT$4.5 million for 10 GB of data. The military enthusiast said the government needs to step up its vigilance.
A military enthusiast going by the pseudonym "Ma Lan" often browses foreign websites for military information. Recently, this person discovered that someone was openly selling classified intelligence documents from Taiwan via a foreign website. The price was US$150,000 for 10 GB of data, or about NT$4.5 million. There were also comments asking how the data could be purchased.
Ma Lan, Military Enthusiast: “There were some work records, as well as personnel evaluations. Early this morning, the seller offered another batch. I've already notified the relevant departments. There were even names inside the batch offered this morning.”
The military enthusiast said the ramifications of this incident are huge, so relevant departments have already been notified. The samples included information on other countries' military exercises and individual missions. One report indicated that one person's task was to refer and search for intelligence on cross-Strait exchanges and analyze whether another person would be willing to go to China to develop if their income decreased due to a job transfer. There was also personal information on active duty military personnel, including names and addresses. This could be the work of hackers or infiltration by secret agents, so the government is urged to stay vigilant.
Wang Ting-yu, Legislator (DPP): “They should set up a specialized national security court and national security police force that can impose speedy and major punishment based on evidence.”
Elected representatives said the government should establish a court specifically handling national security issues to quickly try and impose punishments for crimes. The Ministry of National Defense said it is investigating this report of classified information being sold online and cannot reveal any details.
網路世界成了取得國家機密文件的管道嗎？化名馬蘭的資深軍事迷長期在國外網站了解軍事資訊，發現到有人在網站上，公開販售國家機密，10G的資料開價15萬美元，約台幣450幾萬元，還有網友留言問怎麼買？
軍事迷馬蘭說道：「一些工作紀錄什麼的，還有對人員的評估，今天凌晨他又丟一批出來，也已經通報相關部門，今天早上丟出來的，連人名都有。」
軍事迷說事關重大，已通報相關單位。秀出的資料中，看得到其他國家演習資料，也出現個人情蒐紀錄。報告中寫到，任務是要轉介、蒐報兩岸交流情訊，還剖析對方因職務調動金錢收入減少，有意到中國大陸發展。
最新出現的資料中，也有國人服役的個資，人名、地址等詳細資料都揭露，不排除遭駭客入侵或遭特務滲透，也讓軍事迷呼籲政府重視。
民進黨立委王定宇表示：「應該建置專業的國安法庭跟國安警察體系，根據證據，要予以快速並且重判。」
民代建議政府設置專責國安法庭，速審重判，而針對有軍事機密在網上販售一事，國防部回應仍在清查中，不方便透露更多細節。
