Two Taiwanese military officers, Lieutenant Han and Captain Lin, have been indicted for selling sensitive government information to mainland Chinese contacts in exchange for 8,151 Tether (USDT). According to prosecutors, Han established online contact with individuals from China and transmitted photographed classified military documents through Telegram between December 2022 and February 2024.

Lin, a company commander in the military police, is accused of providing his login credentials to Han, allowing unauthorized access to classified military networks. This enabled Han to download sensitive material, including a manual detailing Taiwan's military strategies for cyber defense.

The two officers face serious charges, including violations of Taiwan's Anti-Corruption Act and the National Security Act. The Control Yuan, Taiwan's government watchdog, reports a dramatic increase in espionage cases over the last decade, from 13 cases between 2001 and 2010 to 40 recorded cases between 2011 and 2023.
