year, of which nearly 69 percent were unauthorized intrusion cases, Administration for Cybersecurity data showed.<\/p>\n<p>In accordance with the Regulations Governing the Reporting and Response of Cybersecurity Incidents and Exercises (\u8cc7\u901a\u5b89\u5168\u4e8b\u4ef6\u901a\u5831\u61c9\u8b8a\u53ca\u6f14\u7df4\u8fa6\u6cd5), government agencies classify reportable cybersecurity incidents into levels 1 through 4, from least to most severe, based on the severity of the incident\u2019s impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability. <\/p>\n<p>Last year, 726 cybersecurity incidents were
