Taiwanese authorities have suggested that Chinese hackers were behind a ransomware attack against Taiwan’s state oil company, an aggressive assault on one of the island nation’s strategic assets.
Data left behind in the attack, such as a configuration file and domain name, point to the involvement of a group known as Winnti, or something “closely related” to it, Taiwan’s Ministry of Justice said in a statement Friday. Winnti is a broad collection of hackers that cybersecurity researchers have linked with the Chinese government.

So far they could only confirm they prevented Taiwanese customers from purchasing gas at the stations.

Taiwanese gotta be terribly for they have experienced other attacks against energy and technology firms in the last few weeks. Remember come back asking for a ransom.
