September，multiple Japanese companies have reported customer data leaks，including Times Car，燒肉王物語集團，GMO Research&AI，大起水產，MrMax控股，第一生命 and 大和證券，all of which experienced unauthorized access。LAC Chief Technology Officer Hiroaki Kuramochi said publicly available information alone is insufficient to determine whether the incidents were carried out by the same attacker or as part of a single attack。The concentration of announcements in late September merely reflects the similar timing of companies' investigations and disclosures。The targets were mostly consumer-facing online services，apps and shared SaaS platforms，which have the structural characteristic of holding large amounts of personal data。

researcher at the First Research Division of 中華經濟研究院，said in a speech at 政治大學國際關係研究中心 that after Xi Jinping proposed the holistic approach to national security，"security" became institutionalized following the Chinese Communist Party's 20th National Congress。Implemented through legal amendments，political reliability requirements for officials and the 十五五 plan，this has made businesses and local governments more risk-averse，constrained innovation choices and made disruptive innovation from "0 to 1" unlikely。Innovation has mostly involved scaling and diffusion from "1 to 100"，as in electric vehicles，solar power and lithium batteries，industries now facing overcapacity problems。

Since ROC year 106, business operator Chen Jianxiong and others allegedly forged the institute's seal and prepared false documents to purchase high-speed controlled chips from US companies including Analog Devices and Texas Instruments. The chips can be used for military purposes such as radar receivers, electronic reconnaissance and jammers, and were then resold and exported to Hong Kong and China. The defendants are suspected of supplying China with chips for manufacturing missiles and military radar, earning illegal profits of more than NT$300 million. Prosecutors sharply criticized the conduct, saying it seriously endangered Taiwan's security and could lead the United States to mistakenly believe Taiwan had deliberately helped China obtain military-use chips. They are seeking a 10-year prison sentence for Chen Jianxiong, the harshest penalty, and prison terms ranging from 1 to 8 years for the other 9 defendants. https://ainews.idaeo.ai/180m/20261006-15/index-en-p4.html#n3224238https://ainews.idaeo.ai/180m/20261006-15/index-en-p4.html#n3224238Tue, 06 Oct 2026 16:35:24 +0900Taiwan中央社 CNAThe Hsinchu City Government held a groundbreaking ceremony on the 6th for a sand-protection project around Nanliao Boulevard.

Management fees and repair reserve contributions may rise after purchase, and major renovations are generally scheduled every 10 to 15 years. Management fees for new apartments are low at first but may double after 5 years. When viewing a property, buyers should observe common areas and how they look at different times of day, and check whether the building meets the seismic standards introduced after June 1, 1981. Overseas owners must handle tax matters such as Japanese income tax returns and property tax, as well as mail delivery. They should not simply apply the Taiwanese landlord model, as Japanese tenants generally prefer unfurnished units; properties with unreasonable asking rents will not appear on search platforms. Negotiations must be backed by reasonable grounds, or Japanese sellers may reject the offer. Lin stressed that buying and selling, leasing and property management are three distinct areas of expertise, and that the ability to provide after-sales service is more important than the size of a price reduction. https://ainews.idaeo.ai/180m/20261006-15/index-en-p4.html#n3224230https://ainews.idaeo.ai/180m/20261006-15/index-en-p4.html#n3224230Tue, 06 Oct 2026 16:30:18 +0900Taiwan中央社 CNA金門大橋6日舉行複合型災情實兵演練，模擬濃霧導致多車追撞、油罐車洩漏起火、人員落水等情境，跨機關驗證重大事故應變協調機制；交通部政務次長陳彥伯、金門縣副縣長陳祥麟出席，計有8個檢驗點，動員逾200人參與。 https://ainews.idaeo.ai/180m/20261006-15/index-en-p4.html#n3224231https://ainews.idaeo.ai/180m/20261006-15/index-en-p4.html#n3224231Tue, 06 Oct 2026 16:29:15 +0900Taiwan中央社 CNAThe Taichung City Agriculture Bureau is helping farmers install rooftop auxiliary renewable energy facilities on agricultural structures.

Different goals call for very different locations and properties. Buyers who think they know everything are most likely to run into problems, he said, because their preconceptions make them less receptive to professional advice. Real estate markets vary widely across Tokyo, Osaka and Kumamoto, and a strategy that succeeds in Tokyo may not work in Kumamoto. Regarding the wave of land purchases by Taiwanese investors following 台積電’s arrival in Kumamoto, he warned that there are few Taiwanese employees locally, and homes that do not meet the needs of Japanese renters may be difficult to lease. Investment in guesthouses in Hokkaido ski areas also requires consideration of the off-season, management and snow-removal costs. High yields may conceal low selling prices or inflated rents, and buyers should carefully review penalty clauses in leaseback contracts. He recommended consulting 2 to 3 real estate agents to cross-check information. https://ainews.idaeo.ai/180m/20261006-15/index-en-p4.html#n3223990https://ainews.idaeo.ai/180m/20261006-15/index-en-p4.html#n3223990Tue, 06 Oct 2026 15:31:22 +0900Taiwan中央社 CNA台股逼近5萬點大關，盤中最高49968.92點，終場收49822.55點漲110.51點，創盤中與收盤歷史新高，權王台積電收2585元市值達67.03兆元新高，高價股增至56千金追平歷史紀錄，本週續挑戰5萬點。 https://ainews.idaeo.ai/180m/20261006-15/index-en-p4.html#n3223917https://ainews.idaeo.ai/180m/20261006-15/index-en-p4.html#n3223917Tue, 06 Oct 2026 15:31:20 +0900Taiwan中央社 CNAArizona Gov.
