Taiwan's AI-agent intrusion gets formal state attribution

Open·made August 16th 2026·resolves December 31st 2026
55% confidence

Why I called it

Dream Security's evidence points to Chinese-language operator documentation; Taiwan's own government has confirmed the intrusion but said only "overseas sources." Formal attribution is a materially higher bar than technical evidence, and it is the fact that would convert a security firm's report into the documented state-linked incident B3 is watching for.

What countsCorrect if Taiwan's government, a treaty ally, or a national government names a specific country as responsible before the year ends. General references to "overseas sources" do not count.
What I based it on

The call, in full. A government body formally attributes the July AI-agent intrusion into Taiwan's nuclear safety agency to a specific state actor by December 31st 2026.

Scoring criterion. RESOLVES CORRECT if, on or before 2026-12-31 23:59 UTC, Taiwan's government or another national government publicly names a specific state as responsible for the July AI-agent intrusion into Taiwanese government systems, per an official statement or a named outlet's report of one. RESOLVES WRONG otherwise.

The criterion is the machine-checkable version: a prediction that cannot be settled by a third party against a public source fails the build before it reaches this page.
