Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News.

Tai-Ex opening

The Tai-Ex opened down 412-points this morning from yesterday's close, at

43,221 on turnover of 13.4-billion N-T.

The market ended marginally lower on Monday, as large-cap tech stocks

rebounded from early losses, while rotational buying in the financial sector

helped limit the downturn.

FDA** releases findings on Central Union cooking oil contamination**

The Food and Drug Administration has released the findings of an independent

investigation into the cause of carcinogen contamination in seven batches of

cooking oil produced by Central Union Oil Corporation.

Minister Without Portfolio Chen Shih-chung says the contamination began with

a shipment of Brazilian soybeans.

The investigation was conducted by an expert panel convened by the Food

Industry Research and Development Institute.

According to Chen, it identified three main problems - those being that

high-risk raw materials were not properly managed, production irregularities

were not adequately addressed and the company's food safety risk management

was insufficient (不足的).

The Cabinet last week approved draft amendments to the Act Governing Food

Safety and Sanitation and sent them to the Legislature for review.

MODA warns of increasing number of ransomware threats

The Ministry of Digital Affairs is warned the number of ransomware attacks

targeting local businesses is increasing, as hackers are turning to

generative A-I.

According to the ministry's Administration for Cyber Security, ransomware is

one of the biggest cybersecurity risks facing companies and businesses need

to take steps to strengthen protection.

Administration director-general Tsai Fu-lung says businesses need to take

four steps to ensure their data is secure - those being making regular

backups and software updates, ensuring the use of strong passwords, and

issuing warnings to employees about suspicious (可疑的) links.

Tsai says ransomware attacks this year have targeted local companies in the

paper manufacturing, biotech, and semiconductor sectors.

MACRON VISITS GIRONDE AS FRENCH WILDFIRE AUTHORITIES WARN BLAZE COULD BURN
FOR MONTHS

French President Emmanuel Macron is travelling to the Gironde region of

southwestern France, to meet emergency workers battling wildfires.

The fires have burned more than 42-thousand hectares and forced some

220-thousand people from their homes.

The Gironde prefecture said the situation (情況) overnight was "globally

stable" — a change from previous days — but fire authorities have warned the

blaze could take months to fully extinguish.

Will Denselow reports from Mios, one of several towns near Bordeaux, where

evacuation orders were issued on Sunday.

Canada US Consulate Shooting

A shooter fired at the U.S. Consulate in Toronto early Monday morning,

marking the second such incident this year.

Police reported no injuries but found a single shell casing and damage to the

building's facade.

A high-speed chase followed, but no arrests were made.

The U.S. Consulate was also targeted March 10, when two suspects allegedly

fired multiple shots at the building before driving away in a stolen vehicle.

Two were arrested and charged wtih multiple offences.

Authorities are investigating possible links to gun-for-hire networks, which

have also targeted (有針對性的) synagogues and Jewish-owned bakeries in the city.
