English term

three for three

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) security
Many government IT systems are [three for three] when it comes to digital security red flags:

They are widely trusted by users and reach a large audience. Researchers this year noted that attackers were leveraging legitimate government domains to distribute malware to many at once since site visitors implicitly trust them.
Systems can be complex, housing large amounts of sensitive information and shared with multiple third parties and contractors. This complexity and access increase the external risk the governing body bears.
State and local governments are less funded than their federal counterparts. This often means they are forced to make do with outdated software incapable of standing up against modern, advanced cyber threats.
