So, for example, when the foreign cyber-attacks have changed the signboards outside of the Taiwan Rail Station to a hate message against Speaker Pelosi, naturally, the journalists would want to check the ministry websites to see what’s going on and to maybe clarify the rumor about the ministry has been taken over and things like that. Because, you know, changing a signboard, which is a commercial vendor, is not the same as infiltrating the government service network. But there were just this kind of rumor that says this. But when the journalists checked the ministry websites, it’s very slow, or maybe they would have to wait a couple of hours for it to be back up because it was suffering from a cyber-attack, a denial of service. So, there’s this compounding effect between cyber-attack and the information manipulation and then denial of service and then cyber-attack. That is like a combo of sorts.
