The National Security Bureau says the Cabinet's Government Service Network
has reported more than 2.8-million cyberattacks per day on average so far
this year.

The figure is included in a report by the N-S-B that has been submitted to
the Legislative Yuan for review ahead of a legislative committee hearing
scheduled for tomorrow.

According to the report, hackers attacking the Government Service Network
appear to be focused on several areas - such as critical infrastructure
projects and sensitive information about the government's overseas
cooperation.

The N-S-B says the hacks are targeting systems related to national defense,
foreign affairs, and communications is to collect sensitive information and
manipulate key infrastructure progress.

The report also says that Taiwan's intelligence agencies have detected more
than 1.5 million pieces of controversial information posted through more than
10,800 abnormal online accounts so far this year ...

... and it accuses China of being behind the campaign - Beijing has largely
applied the controversial information to "use Taiwan to attack Taiwan" and to
"reproduce content to amplify their attacks."
