The damage done was "not small", according to a top Taiwan cyber official, who said the full impact was still being assessed.

According to the Taiwan Investigation Bureau's Cyber Security Investigation Office, two well-known Chinese hacking groups -- Blacktech and Taidoor -- have been targeting government departments and information service providers since 2018.

"We are making this public because we want to alert everyone of the threat and stop further damage."
