Hundreds of organisations using Microsoft 365 are facing a fast-growing phishing threat that sidesteps conventional multi-factor authentication controls by abusing a legitimate Microsoft sign-in process rather than breaking it. Security researchers tracking the activity say more than 340 organisations across the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Germany have been affected, with attacks accelerating through March after the first known cases were detected on February 19. […]
Threat actors are refining a deceptive cyberattack method that manipulates built-in system utilities on both Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS to deploy malicious software, marking a shift in how malware bypasses browser-based security safeguards. Security researchers have identified a coordinated campaign centred on a technique known as ClickFix, which prompts users to execute seemingly harmless commands through the Windows Run dialogue or macOS Terminal. By moving the […]
Cybersecurity researchers have identified an evolving macOS-focused malware strain, dubbed GhostClaw, that is leveraging developer platforms and artificial intelligence-assisted workflows to steal sensitive credentials and deploy additional malicious payloads. Security analysts tracking the campaign say the threat represents a shift in tactics, combining traditional social engineering with newer distribution channels tied to software development ecosystems. The malware has been observed circulating through code repositories that appear legitimate, […]
Cisco has issued urgent security updates to address a critical vulnerability in its Secure Firewall Management Center software that could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems without authentication, raising concerns across enterprise and government networks that rely on the platform for threat monitoring and control.

Combining strong electronics manufacturing capabilities with biomedical engineering expertise, Taiwan has developed a dynamic MedTech ecosystem that continues to draw attention from global healthcare distributors, hospital procurement teams, and system integrators seeking scalable healthcare solutions.
Against this backdrop, Medical Taiwan 2026, organized by TAITRA, will take place June 25–27, 2026, at Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC) Exhibition Hall 1 in Taipei. The exhibition will bring together Taiwanese medical device manufacturers, healthcare technology innovators, and international buyers, offering a comprehensive platform for exploring new technologies and building cross-border partnerships.
Over the past decade, Taiwan has steadily strengthened its position in the global medical device industry. Its well-established electronics sector provides a strong technological foundation for developing advanced healthcare solutions that integrate hardware, software, and data-driven systems. Many Taiwanese companies are particularly known for integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) with healthcare applications, supporting the development of smart hospital infrastructure, AI-assisted diagnostics, and connected medical devices designed for modern clinical environments.
Organized by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), Medical Taiwan 2026 will highlight several major trends shaping the healthcare industry, including digital transformation, aging populations, and the growing demand for efficient healthcare delivery systems. This year’s exhibition focuses on three key themes:
Visitors will be able to explore a wide range of technologies, including AI-assisted medical imaging, remote patient monitoring solutions, rehabilitation and assistive devices for aging populations, hospital information system integration, and medical components supported by Taiwan’s strong OEM/ODM manufacturing capabilities.
