TORONTO/NEW DELHI, MARCH 29
A Chinese cyber spy network has hacked into nearly 1,300 computers across 103 countries, with India being the fourth-worst victim, and the infected machines include those at Indian embassies and other Government organisations.
About one-third of the hacked computers include those possibly containing classified data and installed in embassies, Government offices and many high-profile private organisations, Canada-based internet research firm Information Warfare Monitor (IWM) found in an investigation.
The investigation was focused on allegations of Chinese cyber espionage against the Tibetan community, IWM said, adding that the research revealed at least 1,295 infected computers in 103 countries. Taiwan was targeted most, followed by the US, Vietnam and India, IWM said in a report.
